Boston's  Face 


One  attraction  of  NU  is  Boston. 
Always  exciting,  never  predictable, 
Boston  is  the  perfect  backdrop  for  a 
fast-paced  college  like  NU. 

During  our  five  years  in  Boston, 
we've  seen  the  city  change  and 
grow  just  as  we  have.  A  rejuvenated 
downtown,  new  housing,  and  — 
closer  to  home  —  the  Southeast 
Expressway  project,  building  the 
Southwest  Corridor,  and  revamp- 
ing the  Arborway  line  (probably 
the  slowest  in  the  world),  were 
among  the  changes  we  witnessed. 

Left,  an  overview  of  NU  and  the 
surrounding  community.  From  this 
vantage  point  in  the  Prudential, 
NU  doesn't  seem  as  large  and 
overwhelming. 


Another  facet  to  Boston,  and  its  traf- 
fic, noise,  and  general  confusion,  is  its  ar- 
chitecture. From  the  majestic  gold  dome 
of  the  Statehouse  (on  the  next  page),  to 
the  rows  of  colonial  houses  on  Beacon 
Hill,  and  the  aesthetic  beauty  of  the 
Christian  Science  Church,  (pictured  left), 
Boston  has  a  lot  to  see.

The  Best  of  Boston 


Boston  is  more  than  scenery  like 
the  reflection  of  the  Trinity  Church 
on  the  John  Hancock  Building  (far 
left),  the  Statehouse,  and  Faneuil 
Hall  (opposite  page,  bottom). 

Boston  is  events  —  Prince 
Charles  coming  for  a  visit  (op- 
posite), bizarre  entertainment  at 
Faneuil  Hall,  (center),  dancers  at 
Park  Street  Station,  (bottom),  and 
a  duck  swimming  in  the  pond  at 
the  Commons. 

Whatever  the  hour,  there  is 
always  plenty  to  see  and  do  in  the 
Hub.

The  Greater  Boston  community  is  a 
part  of  our  campus.  The  Southwest  Cor- 
ridor (left)  will  be  used  by  us,  and  our 
new  parking  garage  may  be  shared  with 
the  neighborhood  in  turn,  (as  many  of 
our  resources  are). 

Looking  at  our  campus,  you  also  see 
the  city,  including  its  good  and  bad 
points.  Not  only  did  we  have  to  adjust  to 
being  college  students,  we  had  to  learn  to 
accept  the  community  around  us  —  the 
one  we  ultimately  became  a  part  of. 

The  construction  here  also  illustrates 
the  innovations  Boston  and  NU  have  ex- 
perienced. Neither  is  static;  instead  each 
grows  and  faces  new  challenges  with  a 
spirit  of  anticipation. 


Quadulating: 
the  new  sport 


A  hanks  to  the  recent  $  1 50,000  invest- 
ment for  the  new  quad  at  NU,  there  is  a 
new  pastime  running  rampid  on  campus. 
Quadulating  can  be  seen  taking  place  on 
any  day  that  is  reasonably  sunny.  Players 
dress  in  a  variety  of  uniforms,  consisting 
of  multi-colored  Jams,  Vuarnet 
sunglasses,  Reebok  sneakers  and  mousse 
streaked  hair. 

Players  generally  opt  for  strategic  spots 
such  as  the  steps  of  Richards  Hall,  Dodge 
Library,  Ryder  Mountain,  (located  in  the 
middle  of  the  quad),  or  the  Ell  Center. 
The  location  is  very  important  in  this 
game  because  maximum  visibility  is  a 
key  factor  in  competitive  quadulating. 

Once  the  players  have  taken  their 
places,  the  game  begins  to  take  shape. 
Scopeulating  is  the  first  step  in  becoming 
an  effective  quadulator.  Players  begin  to 
scope  out  members  of  the  opposite  sex. 
Remember,  sunglasses  are  a  key  here 
because  you  don't  want  the  unsuspecting 
prey  to  know  that  you  are  eyeing  them. 
Veteran  scopeulators  can  usually  operate 
quite  effectively  in  the  time  alloted  for 
passing  between  classes.  Generally,  prime 
time  scopeulating  takes  place  after  10:30 
a.m.  classs  and  before  1:35  p.m.  classes. 

Now,  after  spending  some  time 
scopeulating,  most  contestants  usually 
have  a  couple  people  in  mind  for 
scoopulating.  Scoopulating  is  the  final 
phase  of  quadulating,  not  to  be  confused 
with  scopeulating. 

Scoopulating  is  when  contestants  put  it 
all  together  for  all  the  marbles.  The  offen- 
sive scoopulator  approaches  the 
quadulator,  (anyone  seen  in  the  quad  be- 
tween these  hours  is  considered  a 
quadulator),  and  in  a  roundabout  manner 
makes  inquiries  as  to  their  willingness  to 
share  a  frappe,  go  to  a  movie,  grab  a  slice 
or  study  together  .  .  .  Yeah,  maybe. 

If  contestants  come  up  empty  handed, 
they  return  to  the  scopeulating  phase. 
Those  players  who  score  are  acknowl- 
edged through  the  university's  infamous 
"grapevine."  ■

Student  life 


Perhaps  Buster  McNadds,  left,  with  his  owner  John  T.  Spencer,  could  tell  us.  Students  at  NU 
lead  individual  lives  —  for  some  the  quad  is  the  center  of  activity  —  others  live  through  dif- 
ferent student  activities.  And  others  float  through  NU  with  nary  a  concern.  Bottom,  Michele 
DePascale  and  Barbara  Kennedy  sit  on  the  stoop,  below,  two  students  enjoy  a  chat  in  the  sun. 


What's  going  on?  There  are  a  variety  of  options 


A 


pproximately  3,800  of  us  came,  saw, 
and  attempted  to  conquer  NU  in 
September,  1982. 

We  struggled  through  registration, 
lecture  halls,  parking  (or  the  lack 
thereof),  and  wild  dorms.  But  we 
survived. 

Here's  a  brief  recap  of  that 
tumultuous  introduction  to  the  place 
that  became  our  home  for  five  years.

Freshman  Year/  17 


Look  to  your  left, 

Look  to  your  right  — 


One  of  you  won't  be  here  when  you  graduate,  President 
Ryder  told  us  at  convocation  (pictured  below).  He  was  right. 

Freshman  year  was  NUFOS  (how  do  I  get  to  KV?),  registra- 
tion with  1  billion  computer  cards  (count  me  in!),  parties,  par- 
ties, and  more  parties  (where  was  I  last  night?),  and  special 
events  like  Joe  Perry  (top  right).  In  spite  of  the  fun,  we  were 
here  (or  would  remain  here)  for  more  reasons  than  partying. 


18 /Freshman  Year 


What  is  the  purpose 
of  a  college  degree? 


Man's  brain  distinguishes  him  from  all  other 
animais,  however  superior  they  may  be  in  size, 
strength  or  speed.  In  fact,  no  other  animal  has  a 
brain  that  can  even  approach  the  power  and  ver- 
satility of  the  human  brain.  Whatever 
disabilities  or  limitations  a  man  might  have,  he 
overcomes  them  by  the  utilization  of  intricate 
instruments  and  machines,  products  of  some- 
one's intelligence.  The  brain  enables  man  to 
cope  successfully  with  his  environment. 
However,  the  goal  of  man  is  not  simply  to  live, 
but  to  live  better.  Hence,  each  person  strives  to 
develop  his  own  mind  to  the  extent  of  its 
natural  capacity.  For  this  reason,  higher  educa- 
tion exists.  Colleges  and  universities  aim  to 
stimulate  clearer  thinking  and  help  its  members 
to  proceed  further  on  their  own. 

The  attaining  of  a  college  degree  requires  a 
combined  process  of  both  training  and  educa- 
tion in  order  to  be  beneficial.  First,  the  in- 
dividual undergoes  training  in  which  he  is 
taught  basic  skills.  However,  education  is  not 
something  that  can  simply  be  injected  by  a 
hypodermic  needle.  A  person  must  acquire  it  by 
his  own  effort.  Merely  knowing  the  answer  is 
not  good  enough.  Thinking  is  what's  impor- 
tant. Even  an  animal  can  be  trained,  but  only 
man  can  be  educated.  The  most  important 
function  a  university  performs  is  to  teach  a  per- 
son where,  when,  and  how  to  use  the  skills  he 
has  learned.  Once  a  person  knows  what  to  do 
with  these  skills,  he  will  realize  that  his  educa- 
tion has  only  just  begun. 

Attending  a  university  demonstrates  to  a  per- 
son that  the  more  he  learns,  the  less  he  knows 


and,  therefore,  the  more  there  is  to  learn.  For  ex- 
ample, if  one  were  to  grow  up  in  a  totally 
isolated  community,  by  age  18  he  might  think 
that  he  knew  all  that  one  could  possibly  know. 
However,  if  a  new  idea  were  introduced  to  him, 
such  as  the  existence  of  another  community,  his 
feeling  of  superiority  would  be  lost.  Examina- 
tion of  this  new  community  would  reveal  the 
limit  of  his  realm  of  knowledge.  Now,  he  would 
have  to  further  educate  himself  in  order  to  com- 
pete with  others  and  develop  to  his  greatest  ex- 
tent. Another  example  is  the  development  of 
the  first  simple  rocket.  The  designers  of  the 
rocket  fully  realized  its  limitations,  but  in  order 
to  build  a  more  improved  model  they  had  to 
learn  more  skills.  In  actuality,  the  educational 
process  never  ceases. 

One  never  stops  learning  until  the  day  he 
dies.  A  college  "education"  introduces  this  ethic 
to  the  individual.  It  not  only  teaches  him  skills, 
but  it  teaches  him  what  to  do  with  the  skills  so 
that  he  can  continue  to  improve  on  them.  A 
university  is  not  successful  if  it  merely  pours 
knowledge  into  a  student.  It  is  successful  if  it 
has  transmitted  knowledge  that  continues  to 
grow.  For  this  reason,  both  training  and  educa- 
tion are  necessary.  The  purpose  of  a  college 
degree  is  to  learn  how  to  live  to  the  greatest  ex- 
tent of  one's  natural  capacity.  This  goal  can  be 
accomplished  by  continuing  the  learning  process 
every  single  day.  College  is  not  merely  the  at- 
taining of  a  profession  but  the  attaining  of  a 
philosophy  of  life.  Learn  to  live,  but  then  live  to 
learn.  ■

Reflections . . . 


\ftr  hen  we  started  school  Kevin  White 
was  mayor,  Ed  King  was  governor  and  no  one 
had  heard  of  Madonna.  When  your  mom, 
dad,  Aunt  Dolores  and  your  dog  Sparks, 
drove  you  up  from  Pittsburgh,  Huntington 
Avenue  was  not  the  street  it  is  today. 

When  we  came  to  college,  not  only  was  it 
Ronald  Reagan's  first  term  in  office,  but  it 
was  also  a  time  of  happy  hours,  drink  specials, 
and  a  drinking  age  of  20. 

College  was  getting  into  Sidelines 
(Sideswines)  when  you  were  18  by  showing  a 
food  card.  It  was  having  shaving  cream  fights 
with  the  "boys''  from  the  third  floor  of  Stet- 
son West  Center,  and  the  endless,  poorly  tim- 
ed false  fire  alarms  in  the  dormitories  at  3 
a.m.  And  Salmonella. 

That  first  quarter  we  attended  school, 
Kariotis  was  the  Classroom  building, 
Cullinane  was  the  Botolph  building,  and  the 
quad  was  asphalt,  not  imported  Harvardian 
brick.  And  when  you  made  your  first  com- 
mute to  the  Campus  of  the  White  Brick,  you 
parked  your  car  in  what  is  now  called  the  Snell 
Engineering  Building. 

In  the  fall  of  1982,  there  was  no  Sourhwesr 
Corridor,  and  there  was  no  Burger  King  in  the 
Ell  Center.  The  game  room  was  on  the  third 
floor  right  near  the  big  t.v.  where  the  best 
soap  operas  on  campus  have  played  since 
Marlena  and  Roman  were  married.  ■

BREZHNEV  DIES    GANDHI  KILLED 


Leonid  Brezhnev,  75,  General  Secretary  of  the 
Central  Committee  of  the  Communist  Party  of  the 
Soviet  Union,  died  of  a  heart  attack  November  of 
1982.  He  was  a  leader  for  18  years.  He  led  a  fur- 
thering detente,  especially  with  Richard  Nixon.  As 
his  health  worsened,  Soviet  policy  took  a  radical 
turn  including  the  invasion  of  Afghanistan.  This 
led  to  a  cooling  off  of  relations  between  east  and 
west,  so  that  at  his  death  tension  was  extremely 
high. 


India's  Prime  Minister  Indira  Gandhi  was 
assassinated  by  her  own  guards  as  she  walked 
through  her  gardens  on  Oct.  31,  1984.  News  of 
her  death  sparked  bloody  religious  riots 
throughout  the  country,  killing  nearly  1000 
persons  in  the  week  following  her  death.  For  20 
years  she  was  the  most  predominent  figure  in 
her  country.  Her  father,  Jawaharlal  Nehru  had 
similarly  dominated  India,  the  20  years  prior. 
She  was  reportedly  killed  by  militant  Sikhs, 
who  were  calling  for  a  separate  state. 

Her  son,  Rajiv  Gandhi,  who  assumed  the 
role  as  Prime  Minister  upon  her  death,  was  shot 
at  in  October  of  1986.  However,  he  escaped 
without  injury  during  a  meeting  to  mark  the 
1 17th  anniversary  of  Mahatma  Gandhi's  birth. 


FALKLANDS 
RAID 

British  paratroopers  and  marine  commandos 
stormed  ashore  in  the  Falkland  Islands  May  21, 
1982,  to  free  her  colonial  territory  from  an  Argen- 
tine invasion.  In  the  face  of  British  military 
superiority,  the  Argentine  army  surrendered  24 
days  later.  The  invasion  peaked  a  war  resulting 
from  fruitless  negotiations  over  the  Falkland's 
sovereignty.  Argentina  supported  a  sovereign 
Falklands,  while  Great  Britain  wanted  it  to  remain 
her  colony.  The  Argentine  seizure  of  the  Falklands 
on  April  2,  1982  propelled  the  British  into  im- 
mediate action.  The  British  death  toll  reached  255 
with  177  wounded;  the  Argentines  lost  746  lives. 
An  estimated  $1.4  billion  worth  of  British  ships  2 
and  equipment  was  lost  in  combat,  but  Prime  e 
Minister  Margaret  Thatcher's  popularity  soared.

•ERA  —  Despite  polls  showing  2/i  of  American  men  and 
women  approved  ERA  (the  Equal  Rights  Amendment), 
it  fell  short  of  passage  by  the  necessary  38  states. 


THE 
MIDEAST 

Many  peace  efforts  have  been  made  among 
Jews  and  Arabs,  but  none  have  ended  the 
feuding.  Over  the  past  five  years  the  Mideast 
has  been  in  the  news  with  reports  such  as  the  oc- 
cupation of  the  West  Bank,  Israel's  desire  to  be 
recognized  as  a  state  by  Arabs,  Palestinians  want 
of  a  separate  state  —  while  both  rejected  each 
other's  dream.  The  ten-year  civil  war  within 
Lebanon  that  has  left  over  100,000  dead  has 
consistently  made  headlines.  Moslems  battling 
Christians  and  other  Moslems;  Christians 
feuding  with  Christians;  Shiite  Moslems  attack- 
ing Palestinian  refugee  camps  and  so  on.  Also, 
the  Iran-Iraq  war  is  still  going  on  after  six  years 
leaving  one  million  dead.  Both  sides  hit  oil 
targets  hard.  Both  being  dependent  on  (declin- 
ing) oil  revenues  that  certainly  is  a  weak  spot. 
Although  Iraq  is  better  equipped  militarily,  the 
Iranians  under  the  Ayatollah  Khomeini  have 
the  will  to  keep  fighting  as  long  as  their  oil 
reserves  are  plentiful. 

OIL  CRISIS? 

Further  inflaming  the  Mideast  are  the  declin- 
ing oil  prices.  However,  the  oil  plunge  of  the 
eighties  has  left  many  smiling  at  the  gas  pump. 
Recent  prices  are  as  low  as  the  pre-oil  crisis  days 
of  1973.  OPEC  antics  have  caused  oil  consum- 
ing nations  to  seek  alternative  sources  and  have 
thus  shaken  up  the  former  balance  of  exchange. 

ISRAELI  RAID 

Israeli  troops  swarmed  into  Lebanon  on  the 
morning  of  June  6,  1982,  in  a  bold  move  that 
destroyed  the  strength  of  the  PLO  in  Beirut. 
While  the  Arab  world  reacted  with  angry 
denunciations,  Israeli  Prime  Minister 
Menachem  Begin  proclaimed  the  invasion  "a 
necessary  retaliation  against  a  terrorist  group 
that  endangered  the  lives  of  Israeli  citizens."

o  longer  the  new  kids  on  the  block,  we 
settled  into  life  at  NU  and  prepared  for 
our  first  co-op  job.  (gulp!) 

We  learned  about  the  bureaucracy, 
red  tape  and  LINES  at  NU  —  (not  the 
ones  you  pick  up  through  a  straw).  And 
we  watched  the  campus  and  surrounding 
neighborhood  begin  to  transform  itself. 


Sophomore  Year  /  27 


Reflections 


JL  hey  say  that  one  fourth  of  your  life  time 
is  spent  sleeping.  Well,  if  you're  a  commuter 
one  fourth  of  your  time  at  NU  is  spent  in 
parking  lots.  Parking  lots.  Five  years  of  them. 
They  have  been  changed  around  more  times 
than  the  pathways  in  the  quad.  Each  year, 
each  time  back  from  co-op;  every  quarter,  the 
treasure  hunt  to  find  the  student  parking  lots 
was  harder  than  the  test  for  Operarions 
Management. 

Students  who  have  commuted  for  five  years 
have  spent  so  much  time  travelling  they 
qualify  for  frequent  flyer  bonus  rnps  to  Ber- 
muda. Say  the  average  commuter  travels  17 
miles  a  day.  Over  a  period  of  1 1  quarrers  at 
60  class  days  a  quarter  —  that's  1 1,220  miles. 
In  order  to  receive  a  Northeastern  diploma 
you  have  to  travel  across  the  United  States 
twice.  (Which  might  be  shorter  than  the 
distance  you  have  to  travel  to  have  a  petit 
signed  to  take  a  class  while  on  co-op.) 

This  isn't  even  counting  the  lines  you've 
had  to  wait  in.  Lines  are  as  much  a  part  of  NU

Remember  registrarion?  Going  from  the 
ballroom  to  some  office  to  another  office  try- 
ing to  get  a  computer  card  that  might  get  you 
a  possible  space  in  a  class.  Things  have  gotten 
better,  though,  if  you  can  decide  nine  months

KAL  DOWNED 

On  Sept.  1,  1983,  a  Korean  Air  Lines  747 
was  hit  by  a  Soviet  air  to  air  missile.  Twelve 
minutes  later  the  big  jet  plunged  into  the  sea  of 
Japan,  killing  all  269  passengers  and  crew. 
Claiming  that  the  plane  intruded  upon  a  critical 
part  of  their  far  east  defenses,  the  Soviets  also 
accused  the  aircraft  of  being  on  a  spy  mission. 
President  Ronald  Reagan  charged  the  Soviets 
with  trying  to  cover  up  the  incident,  which 
killed  61  Americans.  Japan  was  also  upset  by 
the  event,  but  apart  from  the  initial  criticism  ot 
the  Soviet  Union,  no  other  action  was  taken. 
The  episode  strengthened  U.S. -Japanese 
military  ties. 

Three  years  later  the  question  still  persists: 
Did  it  simply  stray  over  the  Soviet  Union 
because  of  human  error  or  was  it  there  to  spy? 
Recently  published  books,  such  as  "The  Target 
is  Destroyed"  by  Seymour  Hersh  and  "Shoot- 
down"  by  R.  W.  Johnson  point  in  both  direc- 
tions. Despite  the  recent  run  of  books  and 
renewed  controversy,  no  one  has  conclusively 
proved  why  the  aircraft  was  there.

1984  OLYMPICS 

The  Winter  Olympics  in  Sarajevo, 
Yugoslavia,  was  dominated  by  Eastern  block 
countries,  however,  athletes  brought  some  gold 
home  to  the  U.S. 

Scott  Hamilton  skated  his  way  to  the  gold 
and  captured  the  hearts  of  millions.  Bill 
Johnson  stunned  skiers  by  taking  a  gold  in 
downhill  skiing  —  a  first  for  the  U.S.  in  an 
Olympic  skiing  event.  Brothers  Phil  and  Steve 
Mahre  won  gold  and  silver  medals,  respectively, 
in  the  men's  slalom.  Figure  skater  Roslyn 
Sumners  took  a  silver  medal. 

Despite  a  Soviet  boycott,  the  Summer  Olym- 
pics held  in  Los  Angeles  produced  a  record  pro- 
fit of  SI 50  million  with,  as  one  observed, 
"Hollywood  at  its  corny  best." 

Mary  Lou  Retton,  a  16-year-old  gymnast, 
quickly  became  familiar  to  all  as  she  captured 
the  gold.  The  men's  gymnastics  team,  led  by 
Bart  Conner,  won  the  title. 

Carl  Lewis  (in  world  record  time),  Edwin 
Moses,  Evelyn  Ashford  and  Joan  Benoit  ran  for 
the  gold.  The  U.S.  also  swept  boxing,  cycling, 
swimming  (Greg  Louganis),  and  basketball.

After  14  years  in  office,  Boston  Mayor  Kevin  H. 
White  lost  his  title  to  Ray  Flynn  in  1984.  A  notable 
candidate  in  the  Mayoral  election  was  a  black  can- 
didate, Mel  King,  who  formed  the  Rainbow  coalition. 
Since  Flynn  has  been  in  office  he  has  become  known  as 
"The  People's  Mayor. " 


Dec.  27,  1985  —  Gunmen  attacked  the  El 
Al  counters  at  Rome  and  Vienna  airports;  20 
people  were  killed,  including  five  Americans. 
The  White  House  accused  Libya  of  aiding  the 
PLO  faction  led  by  Abu  Nidal,  who  was 
believed  to  have  carried  out  the  assault.  Col. 
Muammar  el-Gadhafi  defended  the  attack  as 
"heroic." 


TERRORISM 

In  mid-October  1983  an  attack  on  the 
multi-national  peace-keeping  force  in  Beirut, 
Lebanon,  left  240  Americans  dead  and  many 
others  wounded. 

The  attack  occurred  while  most  of  the  troops 
were  asleep  in  the  compound's  barracks.  A  lone 
suicidal  truck  driver  from  a  fanatical  Islamic 
group,  crashed  his  vehicle  filled  with  explosives 
into  the  compound. 

Public  pressure  for  the  withdrawal  of  these 
troops  mounted,  until  they  were  removed  a  few 
months  later. 

1983-1985 

During  the  past  five  years  we  have  heard  con- 
tinuous reports  about  Americans  and  others  be- 
ing killed  because  of  terrorism.  World  leaders 
find  themselves  in  an  impossible  situation.  If 
you  don't  know  who  the  criminals  are,  or  where 
and  when  they  are  going  to  strike,  how  can  you 
resolve  the  problem? 

Whether  it  is  true  or  not  that  Libya  was 
behind  the  terrorist  attacks,  (some  of  which  are 
listed  below)  we  do  not  know.  But  in  1986, 
America  struck  back  at  what  Administration  of- 
ficials believed  to  be  the  accused. 

Dec.  12,  1983  —  Another  truck  bomb  rip- 
ped through  the  U.S.  Embassy,  this  time  in 
Kuwait,  killing  five  and  wounding  37. 

June  15,  1985  —  A  Trans  World  Airlines 
jet,  with  104  Americans  aboard,  was  hijacked  in 
Athens,  Greece.  The  two  Lebanese  Shiite 
gunmen  took  the  plane  to  Beirut,  then  to 
Algeria  and  then  back  to  Beirut.  Most  of  the 
hostages  were  released  within  days,  but  the  re- 
maining 39  hostages  were  held  for  17  days.  One 
American  hostage  was  killed. 

Oct.  7,  1985  —  Four  Palestinian  terrorists 
hijacked  the  Italian  cruise  liner  Achille  Lauro  as 
it  left  Alexandria,  Egypt.  The  terrorists  killed 
Leon  Klinghoffer,  69,  an  American  from  New 
York  City,  and  then  threw  his  body  overboard. 
Upon  release  of  the  ship,  the  hijackers  boarded  a 
plane  bound  for  PLO  headquarters.  The  plane 
was  intercepted  by  U.S.  jets  and  forced  to  land 
in  Italy  where  the  hijackers  went  to  trial.  They 
were  given  prison  terms  of  four  to  nine  years, 
but  Italian  authorities  released  the  two  PLO  of- 
ficials that  were  also  apprehended.  The  U.S. 
charged  Libyan  support  for  the  operation. 


U.S.  INVADES 
GRENADA 

On  the  morning  of  Oct.  25,  1983,  American 
troops,  joined  by  several  hundred  soldiers  from 
the  Carribean  Islands,  invaded  the  tiny  island  of 
Grenada,  a  move  that  startled  Americans  and 
much  of  the  world.  The  marines  and  army  were 
sent  in  to  pluck  to  safety  hundreds  of  Americans 
from  what  President  Ronald  Reagan  called  a 
great  peril  on  the  island  arising  from  communist 
activities.  However,  the  U.S.  forces  met  with  an 
unexpected  resistance  that  left  18  U.S.  soldiers 
dead  and  86  wounded  after  a  few  days  of 
fighting. 

On  the  third  day  of  the  invasion,  Reagan  in- 
formed the  American  public  of  the  situation 
and  that  U.S.  troops  located  warehouses  full  of 
weapons  and  communications  equipment  which 
he  said  indicated  Cuban  plans  of  occupation. 

Secrecy  surrounding  the  invasion  was  almost 
total.  While  Congressional  leaders  were  in- 
formed on  the  eve  of  the  invasion,  they  were  not 
asked  to  approve  the  mission.  Reporters,  who 
were  blocked  from  all  news  and  were  initially 
fed  false  reports,  were  not  allowed  on  the  island 
until  the  third  day. 

Although  Grenada  has  been  a  problem  for  1 
the  U.S.  for  years,  Reagan  said  the  decision  to  .s 
invade  was  made  after  six  small  Carribean  | 
democracies  appealed  for  help,  some  of  whom  J 
aided  in  the  invasion.  The  U.S.  began  winding 
down  its  military  presence  in  early  November 
since  an  interim  government  was  in  the  works.

Reflections 


R, 


i-emember  when  you  were  taking  that 
Fluid  Dynamics  course  and  you  ran  into  the 
guy  who  lived  on  your  floor  freshman  year: 
After  the  "hellos"  and  the  "where  are  you  liv- 
ing now's,"  the  conversation  always  turned  to: 
"Do  you  remember  the  time  we  held  all  of 
Amy's  clothes  for  ransom?"  Or,  "How  about 
the  pool  party  we  had  in  Stacy's  room?"  And 
the  other  guy  chimed  in,  "Yeah,  sure. 
Whatever  happened  to  the  door  they  took  off 
the  hinges  that  separated  Stetson  East  from 
Stetson  West?" 

Memories  of  school  are  not  just  the  time 
spent  in  classes  and  attending  student  func- 
tions. It's  cranking  out  20  page  term  papers  in 
a  day,  staying  up  for  four  days  to  get  through 
finals,  and  figuring  out  exactly  how  many 
World  Politics  classes  you  can  blow  off  and 
still  know  enough  to  get  a  B  on  the  midterm. 

Classes.  Eleven  quarters  of  them.  Most 
students  carry  a  minimum  of  four  classes  a 
quarter.  But  if  you're  a  nursing,  engineering, 
pharmacy,  or  biology  major,  you've  been  car- 
rying a  minimum  of  four  classes  and  a  zillion 
hours  of  clinicals  and  labs. 

And  that  class  you  wanted  —  that  course 
you  neeeeeded.  The  course  the  dean's  office 
says  you  have  to  be  in  —  is  closed,  cancelled 
or  full.  After  waiting  in  a  million  lines,  turn- 
ing your  forms  in  on  time,  you  are  put  on  a 
waiting  list.  How  many  courses  are  worth 
that'  ■

I  1984-1985 

REAGAN  WINS 
A  SECOND 
TERM 


Ronald  Reagan  was  swept  into  the  White  J 
House  fot  a  second  tetm,  aftet  capturing  every  g 
state  except  Minnesota  and  Washington,  DC.  s 
in  the  1984  election.  The  '84  race  included  two  I 
history  making  candidates:  Rev.  Jesse  Jackson  3 
and  Geraldine  Ferraro.  Although  Walter  Mon-  i 
dale  eventually  received  the  Democrats'  en-  = 
dorsement,  Jackson's  brilliant  oratory  ability  a 
gained  him  much  respect.  5 

Only  five  of  Reagan's  original  cabinet 
members  were  part  of  his  Administration  at  the 
staft  of  his  second  term.  Two  noteworthy  turn- 
overs came  in  1982.  Secretary  of  State  Alex- 
ander Haig  was  replaced  by  George  Shultz;  and 
Secretary  of  Interior  James  Watt,  who  referred 
to  his  staff  as  consisting  of  "A  black,  a  woman, 
two  Jews  and  a  cripple"  also  resigned,  and  was 
replaced  by  William  Clark.  In  1985  Donald 
Hodel  took  over  Clark's  position 

President  Reagan's  choice  of  Attorney 
General  caused  a  stir  in  1985.  Edwin  Meese  was 
accused  of  unethical  business  dealing  with  men 
who  were  later  given  federal  jobs.  Meese  was 
cleared  of  all  charges  and  was  later  appointed. 
Another  startling  Administration  change  came 
in  1985,  when  Reagan  announced  that  Donald 
Regan,  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  department  . 
and  James  Baker,  Secretary  of  Staff,  would  be 
swapping  positions. 

Conservative 
tone . . . 

President  Ronald  Reagan's  elevation  of 
Associate  Justice  William  Rehnquist,  who  filled 
the  seat  of  retiring  Chief  Justice  Warren  Burger, 
coupled  with  the  choice  of  Antonin  Scalia,  will 
prolong  a  conservative  trend  in  the  Supreme 
Court  that  has  been  building  for  years. 

The  appointments  may  alter  the  balance 
among  Justices  on  abortion,  affirmative  action 
and  the  relationship  between  church  and  state. 

Many  less  conservative  people  protested 
Rehnquist's  nomination  because  of  his  past 
decisions  on  civil  rights  cases,  and  his  personal 
dealings  with  minorities. 

Scalia,  the  first  Italian  American  named  to 
the  Supreme  Court,  and  Rehnquist  have  similar 
views  on  abortion,  women's  and  minorities' 
rights  and  both  favor  curbing  media  rights  and 
privileges. 


Taxes .  -  - 


Far-reaching  changes  in  the  country's  tax 
system,  featuring  individual  rate  reduction, 
tightening  of  loopholes  and  increasing  corporate 
taxes,  went  into  effect  this  year. 

The  September  1986  Senate  vote  supporting 
tax  reform  came  nearly  two  years  after  President 
Reagan  declared  tax  revision  a  major  legislative 
goal.  Many  of  the  original  opponents  of  tax 
reform  supported  the  bill  after  several  rewrites. 

Unfortunately,  there  is  a  price  to  pay  for  the 
substantial  cuts  on  individual  taxes:  three- 
martini  business  lunches  will  soon  be  a  luxury  of 
the  past.

LIVE  AID 


\bove:  Tina  Turne, 


at  the  Live  Aid  Concert  m  Philadelphia,  PA's JFK  Sladiu 


-July  13,  1985 


A  BBC-TV  documentary  told  the  story. 
Starving,  emaciated  figures  appeared  on  televi- 
sions around  the  world,  as  the  public  learned 
about  the  approximately  1  1  million  Ethiopians 
who  were  suffering  as  the  result  of  war,  drought 
and  government  corruption. 

Boomtown  Rats  leader  Bob  Geldof,  in  an  ef- 
fort to  aid  the  victims,  rounded  up  prominent 
British  artists  such  as  Sting,  Wham!,  U2,  Phil 
Collins  and  Culture  Club  to  sing  "Do  They 
Know  It's  Christmas:""  The  collaboration, 
known  as  Band-Aid,  raised  $10  million. 

The  success  of  Band-Aid  led  Geldof  to  con- 
sider the  possibility  of  a  worldwide  telethon  to 
raise  money.  Wembley  Stadium  in  London  and 
JFK  Stadium  in  Philadelphia  were  picked  as 
sites  for  the  concert,  which  was  broadcast  live  on 
July  13,  1985. 

Nicknamed    the   Eighties   Woodstock,    Live 
Aid  grossed  more  than   $40  million.  Approx- 
<   imately   1.5  million  people  worldwide  saw  the 
j   concert.   Highlights  included  a  reunion  of  the 
|  surviving  members  of  Led  Zeppelin,  a  reunion 
|  of  Black  Sabbath,  The  Who  and  Crosby,  Stills, 
0  Nash  and  Young.  Over  60  pop/rock  stars  per- 
formed, some  of  whom  were:  Mick  Jagger,  Tina 
Turner,  Chryssie  Hynde,  U2,  Sting,  Phil  Col- 
lins, Bob  Dylan,  Joan  Baez  and  Eric  Clapton.

—  The  Columbian  volcano  in  November 
1985  killed  nearly  250,000  with  a  deadly 

force  that's  rare  m  the  history  of  the  planet. 

—  Civil  aviation  s  worst  year  ever  and  the 
worst  single  crash;  520  people  were  lost 
aboard  a  fallen  jetliner  in  Japan. 


SOUTH  AFRICA 
SANCTIONS 

The  House  and  Senate  overrode  President 
Reagan's  veto  of  economic  sanctions  against 
South  Africa,  which  was  a  striking  defeat  of  his 
Administration. 

The  override  came  after  Reagan  tried  unsuc- 
cessfully to  persuade  the  white  majority  of 
South  Africa  to  revoke  its  sanctions  against 
black  citizens. 

The  sanctions  banned  new  South  African  in- 
vestments and  bank  loans,  as  well  as  steel,  iron, 
uranium,  agricultural  and  military  imports.  The 
sugar  quota  the  United  States  was  going  to  give 
South  Africa  was  transferred  to  the  Philippines. 

President  Reagan  said  he  was  against  sanc- 
tions because  he  thought  the  economies  of  sur- 
rounding South  African  nations  would  suffer 
and  that  the  sanctions  would  harm  rather  than 
help  suppressed  blacks. 

Sen.  Edward  M.  Kennedy  described  the  veto 
as  "a  great  victory  for  democracy  in  America 
and  freedom  in  South  Africa." 

The  last  override  of  a  U.S.  president  on  a  ma- 
jor foreign  policy  issue  occurred  in  1973,  when 
Congress  imposed  the  War  Powers  Act  during 
the  Nixon  Administration. 

AIDS  HELP? 

An  antiviral  drug  with  the  ability  to  stop  the 
AIDS  virus  from  reproducing  was  discovered, 
based  on  early  reports  from  AIDS  research. 

Results  showed  patients  taking 
aziothymidine  (AZT)  fared  dramatically  better 
than  those  on  a  placebo.  Among  137  patients 
taking  a  placebo  and  145  taking  AZT,  only  one 
member  of  the  AZT  group  died  during  the 
same  four  month  period.  The  study  ended 
before  scheduled  when  the  drug's  effectiveness 
became  clear. 

Burroughs- Wellcome,  creators  of  AZT,  said 
the  drug  would  be  on  the  market  by  early  1987.

CLASSICS 

When  Bob  Seger  wrote  Old  Time  Rockin' 
Roll,  he  foresaw  a  revival  in  classic  and  Motown 
music.  Rockers  like  The  Doors,  The  Who,  Roll- 
ing Stones  and  Led  Zeppelin  are  getting  plenty 
of  air  time  as  are  Motown  hits  from  The 
Supremes,  Marvin  Gaye  and  Smokey  Robinson. 

Here  in  Boston,  a  leading  station  WZLX, 
classic  hits  100.7  plays  nothing  but  vintage  rock 
and  roll.  And  a  local  club,  The  Jukebox, 
features  a  "lost  45s"  night  once  a  week,  draw- 
ing a  capacity  crowd.  With  the  compact  disc, 
these  great  songs  can  be  heard  without  a  scratch. 

When  disco  died  in  the  late  1970s  there  was 
a  void  to  fill.  Almost  every  station  on  the  dial 
(except  WBCN  in  Boston  and  WAAF  in 
Worcester)  decided  to  fill  air-time  with  top-40 
hits,  leaving  listeners  with  a  lot  of  variety. 

Eventually,  the  leader  of  the  Boston  top-40 
market,  WHTT  followed  100.7  and  switched 
their  format  to  a  B-side  and  classic  hits  station. 

For  those  who  needed  a  fix  of  Madonna's 
"Like  a  Virgin"  and  Whitney  Houston's 
"Greatest  Love  of  All,"  94.5  WZOU  and 
WXKS,  better  known  as  Kiss  108,  was  there. 

Judging  from  the  popularity  of  the  classics, 
"Today's  music  ain't  got  the  same  soul"  and  we 
still  "love  that  old  time  rockin'  roll."

College  Scenes 


(Below),  who  can  forget  the  Cask,  one  of  the  hottest  dives  in  town; 
(bottom  left),  commuting  on  the  buses  that  arrived  every  10  minutes; 
(opposite),  zany  pranks  with  friends  —  this  pair  entered  the  float  com- 
petition at  Homecoming;  and  (bottom  center  and  top  right),  the  in- 
visible roommate  strikes  again. 


the  sixth  roommate 


My  four  roommates  and  I  thought  it  was 
over,  finally.  We  thought  he  was  gone  for  good. 
But  somehow,  some  way,  he's  back.  There's  too 
many  things  that  point  to  just  that.  The  sixth 
roommate  has  returned. 

Without  even  meeting  this  conniving 
character,  you  already  know  him.  He's  the  one 
that  always  trashes  the  living  room,  leaving 
nothing  but  empty  beer  bottles  on  the  floor, 
pizza  crusts  on  the  coffee  table  and  the  t.v.  blar- 
ing. It's  the  same  scene  every  time.  But  by  the 
time  the  wreckage  is  discovered,  the  sixth  room- 
mate is  always  nowhere  to  be  found. 

That's  usual  though.  None  of  my  roommates 
have  ever  seen  him,  but  we  all  know  he  lives 
with  us.  He  doesn't  pay  rent,  or  any  of  the  bills. 
When  it  comes  time  to  collect  the  phone  bill, 
his  calls  get  placed  under  "miscellaneous"  for 
everyone  to  share. 

For  a  while,  we  thought  he  moved  out  for 
good.  Our  seven-room  apartment  was  clean. 
The  bills  were  getting  paid  on  time.  The 
refrigerator  had  more  than  just  beer  and  milk  in 
it,  which  was  all  that  could  be  left  in  the  fridge 
for  a  while.  Anything  and  everything  else  just 
kinda  vanished.  But  he's  back  again.  We  know 
it.  It's  so  easy  to  see. 

Everyone  knows  the  house  policy  on  dishes: 
use  'em  wash  'em  —  a  painless  solution  to 
something  that  five  reasonably  sloppy  college 
bachelors  hate  to  do. 

But  lately,  we've  had  trouble  finding  the  sink 
and  counter  under  the  piles  of  pots  and  pans.  A 
swarm  of  killer  maggots  hovering  over  some 
week-old  Prego  caked  into  a  plate  may  be  keep- 
ing us  from  washing  them.  But,  all  the  room- 
mates know  the  policy.  It's  only  the  sixth  room- 
mate who  doesn't. 

Near  the  mounds  of  dishes  is  the  fridge,  that 


one-time  safe  hiding  place  of  edibles.  But 
something's  been  happening  since  he  returned. 
Bagels  have  disappeared  faster  than  they  do  at 
Jewish  delis  in  Brooklyn.  Eggs  must  be  hatch- 
ing in  the  box  or  just  disappearing.  The  list  goes 
on  and  on,  and  all  fingers  are  pointing  in  that 
direction  again.  It's  got  to  be  the  dastardly  sixth 
roommate. 

The  sixth  roommate  has  to  be  the  one  not 
taking  phone  messages,  too.  We  always  keep  a 
pad  and  pencil  right  by  the  phone,  so  it  couldn't 
be  any  of  us.  I've  been  getting  too  many  "didn't 
you  get  my  message?"  lately.  Something  has  got 
to  be  done  about  this  varmint. 

He's  got  to  be  the  one  that  leaves  all  the 
empties  around  the  living  room,  and  the  one 
that  leaves  the  toilet  running  all  night.  All  the 
lights  left  on,  the  thin  coating  of  dirt  that  lines 
the  bathtub,  the  slamming  doors  at  3  a.m.,  the 
cigarette  butts  on  the  coffee  table,  the  broken 
Lowenbrau  mirror,  the  bicycle  in  the  hallway, 
the  7  a.m.  phone  calls  —  it's  all  his  doing.  They 
have  to  be.  There's  five  of  us,  and  him.  And  it 
can't  be  us. 

Too  many  boxes  of  macaroni  and  cheese  have 
vanished,  too  many  messages  have  been  missed. 
It  has  to  end.  But  this  time,  he  might  be  here  to 
stay. 

He  probably  won't  budge  for  a  long,  long 
time.  You  can't  really  blame  him,  either.  It's  a 
nice  apartment,  clean  some  of  the  time,  big  all 
of  the  time.  We  better  get  used  to  his  living 
habits  and  when  anything  goes  wrong,  we'll 
know  who's  to  blame. 

While  I've  never  met  him  face-to-face, 
someting  tells  me  we  all  know  him  much  better 
than  we  all  realize.  ■

Reflections 

J3y  the  time  you  spend  a  few  weeks 
here  you  learn  that  the  Northeastern 
University  community  is  a  microcosm  of 
the  real  world.  And  you  learn  that,  just 
like  in  the  real  world,  people  here  —  at 
the  campus  where  you  get  an  education 
that  works  —  lie.  Yes,  lie.  And  not  just 
little  ones.  BIG  ONES.  So  after  five  years 
of  hearing  the  little  and  big  white  ones,  I 
have  compiled  a  list  of  the  10  biggest  lies 
atNU: 

1.)  Co-op  will  pay  for  your  education 

2.)  I'm  a  middler.  (This  is  one  used 
by  every  freshman  to  impress  every  fresh 
woman  he  can.) 

3.)  The  university  is  located  in  scenic, 
historical,  wonderful  Back  Bay.  (It's  Rox- 
bury,  folks.) 

4.)  It's  only  a  cold  sore. 

5.)  I  love  you. 

6.)  I'm  a  virgin. 

7.)  Northeastern  is  the  largest  private 
college  in  the  country. 

8.)  The  football  team  will  break  .500. 

9.)  There's  plenty  of  parking. 
10.)  Don't  worry  —  the  petition  you 
need  in  order  to  obtain  senior  clearance  is 
all  taken  care  of  and  will  be  processed 
within  the  week.  ■

1985-1986 


THE 
CHALLENGER 

Gregory  B.  Jarvis,  an  NU  alumnus,  was 
among  rhe  seven  member  crew  that  died  Jan. 
28,  1986,  when  the  space  shuttle  Challenger 
burst  into  flames,  minutes  after  its  launching. 
Jarvis,  41,  graduated  in  1969  with  a  master's  in 
electrical  engineering.  He  carried  a  Northeastern 
University  flag  on  board  the  shuttle,  a  souvenir 
which  he  planned  to  present  to  President  Ken 
Ryder  on  campus  in  late  February.  On  behalf  of 
the  University,  Ryder  expressed  his  "deepest 
sense  of  loss"  for  Jarvis  and  the  other  crew 
members.  Among  them  was  Christa  McAuliffe, 
a  New  Hampshire  school  teacher,  who  was  the 
first  civilian  ever  selected  by  NASA  to  ride  in 
the  shuttle. 

The  NU  flag  was  found  among  the  wreckage 
and  will  be  exhibited  on  campus. 

MARCOS 
EJECTED 

"People  power"  was  the  chant  and  yellow 
flowers  were  the  symbol  in  February  of  1986 
after  Corazon  Aquino  and  her  followers  brought 
20  years  of  despotic  rule,  under  Ferdinand  Mar- 
cos, to  a  neatly  bloodless  end  in  the  Philippines. 
Even  the  atmy  turned  against  Marcos. 

The  infamous  Malacang  Palace  was  turned 
into  a  virtual  museum  as  Philippinos  viewed 
the  treasures  of  the  Marcos  family.  Their  fortune 
was  estimated  in  the  vacinity  of  $3  billion, 
while  his  annual  income  was  $5700.  Among 
the  riches  were  the  highly  reported  3000  pairs 
of  shoes  belonging  to  Imelda  Marcos. 

The  euphoric  sense  of  democracy  soon  gave 
way  to  ongoing  internal  problems,  such  as  high 
unemployment  and  a  deficit  left  by  Marcos. 
Such  problems  fueled  the  pro-Marcos  sup- 
porters in  their  demonstrations. 

In  a  nine-day  visit  to  the  U.S.  in  September 
of  1986,  Aquino  made  a  stop  at  Boston  Univer- 
sity, where  she  received  an  honorary  degree.  In 
Washington,  D.C.,  she  made  a  speech  before  a 
joint  session  of  Congress,  in  which  she  said; 
"You  have  spent  many  lives  and  much  treasure 
to  bring  freedom  to  many  lands  that  were  reluc- 
tant to  receive  it.  And  here  you  have  a  people 
who  won  it  themselves  and  need  only  the  help 
to  preserve  it."

Scobee  and  Ronald  McNair.  From  back  left;  Ellison  S.  Onizuka,  Sharon  Christa  McAuliffe,  Gregory  Jarvis  and  Judith  A.

Following  Aquino's  address,  the  House  of  Representatives  immediately  supported  a  $200  million  increase  in  aid  to  the 
Philippines.  The  Senate  was  opposed,  but  later  in  the  week  reversed  its  decision.  For  the  Philippines,  who  rely  heavily  on 
American  aid,  Aquino  expressed  sincere  gratitude. 


THE  U.S.  STRIKES  BACK  AT 

TERRORISM 


The  two-day  skirmish  caused  by  the  Sixth 
Fleet  crossing  Col.  Moammar  Gadhafi's  "line  of 
death"  was  a  prelude  to  President  Ronald 
Reagan's  retaliation  against  terrorism.  On  April 
14,  1986,  under  the  cover  of  darkness,  fighter 
bombers  and  attack  planes  blasted  military  and 
intelligence  targets  in  Libya.  The  raid  damaged 
at  least  eight  Soviet-built  Libyan  planes  and 
Gadhafi's  personal  headquarters,  killing  34 
civilians,  one  of  whom  was  Gadhafi's  child. 

The  question  of  Gadhafi's  survival  in  the 
11  Vi  minute  war  was  answered  two  days  later. 
He  appeared  on  T.V.,  calling  Reagan  and  Prime 
Minister  Margaret  Thatcher  "children 
murderers." 

Britain  and  Canada  were  the  only  allies  that 
supported  the  attack.  France  and  Spain  were 
vehemently  opposed  and  refused  permission  for 
U.S.  fighter  planes  to  fly  over  their  territory. 
Their  noncooperation  forced  bombers  to  add 
many  extra  miles  and  hours  on  to  their  trip. 

However,  the  raid  was  considered  a  success, 
except  for  one  aircraft  that  went  out  of  control. 
Its  bombs  were  dropped  on  a  residential  area 
and  also  damaged  the  French  Embassy  and  the 
Swiss  Ambassador's  residence.  The  aircraft  was 
lost  at  sea.  The  two  crewmen  are  assumed  to  be 
dead. 

While  the  American  public  and  administra- 
tion officials  predominately  favored  the  move

many  Europeans  felt  the  U.S.  had  gone  too  far. 
The  Soviets  postponed  the  scheduled  summit- 
planning  session  between  Secretary  of  State 
George  Shultz  and  Foreign  Minister  Eduard 
Shevardnadze. 

Congressional  leaders  were  called  for  con- 
sultation only  three  hours  before  the  proposed 
attack  and  there  was  a  White  House  news 
black-out.  On  Aug.  25,  1986  the  Washington 
Post  reported  that  the  White  House,  approved 
by  Reagan,  endorsed  the  spreading  of  "disinfor- 
mation," intended  to  scare  and  destabilize  the 
Gadhafi  government.  Officials  said  the  infor- 
mation was  intended  for  foreign  journalists,  but 
that  inaccurate  information  was  knowingly 
given  to  Americn  journalists  as  welL  While 
Reagan  challenged  the  "veracity"  of  the  Post's 
report,  Shultz  defended  and  even  justified  the 
exaggerated  leaks,  or  as  the  Post  referred  to 
them,  planted  stories. 

Within  a  week  after  the  raid  on  Libya, 
vengeance  was  being  taken.  In  Lebanon,  three 
hostages  were  killed,  one  American  and  two 
Britons.  In  Khartoum  an  officer  in  the  U.S.  Em- 
bassy was  shot,  which  led  to  the  U.S.  ordered 
evacuation  of  embassy  employees  and  their 
families.  In  London's  Heathrow  Airport,  a 
bomb  was  confiscated  from  a  pregnant 
Irishwoman  at  the  El  Al  terminal.  Administra- 
tion officials  warned  it  was  "open  season  on 
those  who  travel  abroad."  Americans  began 
canceling  international  trips  and  some  even 
avoided  domestic  flights. 

AFTERMATH . . . 

April  2,  1986  —  A  bomb  exploded  on 
TWA  flight  840  killing  four  of  the  115 
passengers  en  route  from  Rome  to  Athens. 

The  four  passengers  were  sucked  out  of  a 
nine-foot  by  four-foot  hole  in  the  fuselage  near 
the  right  wing  moments  after  the  bomb 
exploded. 

On  the  day  of  the  bombing,  an  anonymous 
caller  phoned  a  Western  news  agency  in  Beirut 
and  said  that  the  bomb  was  planted  by  the  Iz- 
zadin  Qassam,  a  small  group  linked  to  Palesti- 
nian terrorist  Abu  Nidal.  The  caller  claimed  the 
bomb  was  in  retaliation  to  a  recent  American- 
Libyan  skirmish  held  off  the  Gulf  of  Sidra. 

April  5,  1986  —  A  bomb  exploded  in  a 
West  Berlin  disco,  La  Belle,  which  was  fre- 
quented by  U.S.  servicemen,  killing  one 
American  and  a  Turkish  woman.  The  U.S. 
claimed  Libya  was  responsible  and  cited 
messages  intercepted  en  route  to  the  Libyan 
People's  Bureau  in  East  Berlin  praising  the 
results. 


CHERNOBYL 
FIRE 

A  nuclear  catastrophe  in  the  Soviet  Union 
caught  the  world's  attention  on  April  25,  1986 
when  a  fire  and  explosion  occurred  at  the  Cher- 
nobyl nuclear  power  plant.  The  explosion  blew 
the  top  off  reactot  number  four  and  sent  a 
radioactive  plume  across  large  parts  of  the 
Soviet  Union  and  much  of  Eastern  and  Western 
Europe. 

In  the  United  States,  early  reports  stated  from 
anywhere  from  two  to  2,000  people  were  killed 
from  the  blast  and  thousands  were  evacuated 
from  the  area.  The  Soviets  claimed  there  were 
only  two  deaths  and  197  hospitalized  for 
tteatments. 

A  week  after  the  explosion,  Soviet  officials 
cited  human  error  as  the  cause  of  the  accident 
and  reported  that  the  4,000°F  fire  in  the 
graphite  core  was  out.  The  Soviets  were 
criticized  by  European  countries  and  the  U.S. 
for  haphazard  and  late  reporting  of  the  accident. 

The  disaster  caused  a  major  blow  to  the 
Soviet  economy  and  Mikhail  Gorbachev's  plan 
to  modernize  it.  Radioactive  particles  covered 
the  land  surrounding  Chernobyl,  which  will 
probably  remain  severely  contaminated  for 
decades  unless  the  topsoil  is  removed.  People 
living  within  60  miles  of  the  site  will  see  a 
significant  increase  in  the  rates  of  leukemia  and 
cancer  within  the  next  30  years.

CONTRA  AID 


The  highly  disputed  bill  for  refueling  the  contras 
with  more  money,  arms  and  training  was  passed  in 
the  Senate,  marking  a  hard-fought  victory  for  Presi- 
dent Ronald  Reagan.  The  increased  aid  package, 
passed  in  mid  August  1986,  was  set  for  $100 
million. 

The  republican  dominated  Senate  was  determined 
to  fund  the  contras  in  Reagan's  four-year  "secret 
war"  in  Nicaragua,  which  is  aimed  at  overthrowing 
the  communist  Sandinista  government.  The 
democratic  House  feared  the  relatively  few,  poorly 
organized  and  under-armed  rebels,  or  "freedom 
fighters"  as  Reagan  called  them,  would  eventually 
pull  American  forces  into  the  fight.  However,  both 
agreed  that  the  S100  million  wouldn't  buy  a  victory 
and  that  much  more  money  would  be  needed. 

While  Nicaraguan  President  Daniel  Ortega 
strengthened  his  forces  with  Soviet  and  Cuban 
assistance,  rumors  of  the  10,000  or  so  conttas  being 
involved  in  cotruption,  drug  smuggling  and  human 
rights  abuses  filled  the  ait  in  America  and  Honduras. 

On  the  Nicataguan  border,  Hondurans  have  not 
only  housed  the  contras  but  have  been  victims  of  a 
teported  Nicaraguan  invasion  against  the  rebels  and 
marauding  by  the  conttas.  The  contras  promised  to    s 
behave  themselves  in  expectation  of  the  incteased  aid.    S. 
The  House  amendments  to  the  bill  promised  $300   => 
million   to   Nicaragua's   four  democratic   neighbors, 
Honduras,  Guatemala,  El  Salvador  and  Costa  Rica. 
Each  ate  said  to  be  strongly  against  Ortega  and  his 
Marxist  Regime.  "A  virtual  declaration  of  wat  by  the 
United  States,"  said  Ortega,  after  hearing  about  the 
aid  package.

e've  survived.  Well,  approximately 
3, 100  of  us  did.  During  this  last  year  we 
look  back  and  decide  whether  our  career 
at  NU  was  worthwhile.  And  we  think  of 
all  we've  been  through,  the  good  and  the 
bad,  that  marked  our  five  years.

Reflections 


JL  know  five  years  is  only  365  days 
longer  than  four  years,  but  it  seems  more 
like  a  lifetime.  If  you  think  five  years  isn't 
a  long  time  then  why  is  it  that  when  you 
work  for  a  company  for  five  years  you 
receive  benefits,  tons  of  vacation  and 
maybe  even  a  watch.  Heck,  only  40  per- 
cent of  marriages  last  five  years. 

Whether  you  came  to  NU  for  co-op  or 
because  the  campus  is  in  Boston,  ("No, 
not  Northwestern.  Northeastern  —  in 
Boston.")  your  college  diploma  is  soon  to 
be  an  accomplishment,  not  just  a  dream, 
and  you  will  have  to  decide  if  the  236 
books  you  paid  an  arm  and  a  leg  for,  and 
the  845  individual  classes  you  attended, 
helped  you  in  any  way. 

Before  you've  packed  up  the  Volvo 
and  headed  back  to  Preston,  Conn.,  you'll 
be  thinking  of  the  last  five  years  .  .  . 
"Whatever  happened  to  Dianne,  Maria, 
or  Caroline?  I  wonder  what  Benjie,  Peter, 
and  the  B.B.Y.C.  are  doing?  I  wonder 
where  Amy,  Maryjo  and  D.  Kellie  are 
now?  .  .  .  Does  Paula  have  a  job  or  is  she  a 
bag  lady?  Did  Ann  ever  graduate?  Did 
Marcy  become  a  teacher'  Are  Rachel  and 
Keith  still  innertubing  on  the  Saco  River? 
Where's  Ernie,  I  wonder?  ...  Is  Dave  at 
the  Times?  ...  Is  Balch  a  doctor?"  .  .  .  ■

Seniors  look  back:  from  freshman  fun 


Freshman  Year 


.Living  in  a  2x2  room  in  Stetson  East  .  .  . 
dorm  food  ...  I  ate  a  lot.  I  was  the  only  one 
that  liked  dorm  food. 

I  ate  eight  dinners  at  one  sitting,  but  I 
didn't  gain  any  weight. 

Using  a  fake  i.d.  A  real  fake  i.d.  that 
worked. 

Going  to  Punter's  and  Sidelines.  Parties 
every  night  in  the  dorm. 

No  sleep. 

Waiting  in  line  to  take  a  shower. 

Studying  in  the  library  —  too  noisy  in 


the  dorm. 

Overwhelmed  by  everybody  .  .  .  big 
school  .  .  . 

I  was  from  a  small  high  school. 

Calling  my  brother  for  help  (he  was  at 
NU)  .  .  .  classes  too  big,  too  many  people 
.  .  .  courses  not  hard  —  except  accounting. 

One  night  some  guys  wearing  pantyhose 
over  their  heads  threw  water  balloons  in  our 
window. 

One  of  the  guys  later  became  my 
boyfriend.  (They're  still  going  out). 


Andrea  Kline 


Sophomore  Year 

X  transferred  in.  We  had  a  two-day  orien- 
tation .  .  .  scary  ...  I  was  from  a  small 
school  ...  I  was  completely  overwhelmed. 
My  small  college  in  Pennsylvania  was 
nothing  like  an  urban  campus. 

My  teachers  were  really  nice.  I  was  still 
catching  up,  taking  basic  courses  in  English 
and  Math  .  .  .  not  really  into  the  business 
program  yet. 

NU  was  much  more  personalized  that  I 
thought.  I  met  a  lot  of  nice  people  .  .  .  the 
ones  I  met  that  year  I  still  hang  out  with. 


I  had  wonderful  work  experiences  —  I 
felt  it  was  my  responsibility  to  take  care  of 
what  I  should  have  —  there  were  things  I 
didn't  know;  as  a  transfer  they  think  you 
know  everything.  As  a  freshman  people  are 
more  willing  to  help  you.  As  a  transfer  you 
have  to  be  more  forward  —  ask  questions. 

My  smartest  move  was  to  come  here  .  .  . 
but  I  did  get  purged  from  all  my  classes 
once.  I  got  up  at  5  a.m.  to  register.  I  was 
the  third  person  in  line.  But  when  I  went  to 
find  out  why  I  was  purged,  the  file  said  I 
was  the  150th  person  in  line!

living  here  without  the  hassle  of  studying.

I  learned  what  bowling  was  (at  the  Hong 
Kong). 

We  started  a  tradition  of  tailgating  — 
the  football  team  won  two  games  that  year. 

My  courses  were  getting  harder  ...  it 
was  my  first  year  of  real  marketing  courses. 

We  had  fire  alarms  till  3  a.m.  in  the 
winter  ...  a  string  of  basement  and  10th 
floor  garbage  can  fires  —  they  had  to  get 
monitors  to  watch  the  cans.

1986-1987 


CRUSADE  AGAINST  DRUGS 


Anti-drug  sentiment  began  to  sweep  the 
country  after  Len  Bias,  the  Celtics  first  round 
draft  choice,  and  Cleveland  Brown  football 
player,  Don  Rodgers,  died  from  cocaine  use. 

Following  the  deaths  of  Bias  and  Rodgers, 
the  NCAA  mandated  drug-testing  for  college 
athletes. 

"Crack,"  a  concentrated  form  of  cocaine 
which  is  absorbed  rapidly  into  the  lungs  and  ef- 
fects the  brain  within  seconds  of  being  smoked, 
turned  the  nation's  concerns  about  drugs  into 
fears. 

President  Reagan  declared  a  "crusade  against 
drugs"  on  national  television,  marking  the  first 
time  a  President  exclusively  covered  drug  abuse. 
Reagan's  Administration  also  doubled  the  drug 
enforcement  budget  from  $853  million  in  1982 
to  1.5  billion  in  1986,  while  drug  prevention 
and  treatment  programs  were  slashed  from 
$200  million  to  $126  million. 


CRACK  DOWN 

Police  reports  and  data  compiled  by  state 
chemists  shows  that  cocaine  is  the  drug  of 
choice  in  Massachusetts,  passing  marijuana  in 
terms  of  popularity  for  the  first  time. 

The  increase  in  cocaine  seizures  is  directly 
linked  to  a  dwindling  supply  of  marijuana  in 
the  area,  according  to  law  enforcement  officials. 
The  drop  in  supply  also  has  caused  the  price  to 
more  than  double  in  a  two  year  period,  while 
the  price  of  cocaine  has  remained  the  same  for 
several  years. 

Law  enforcement  officials  claim  the  tightened 
market  is  due  to  successful  interceptions  of  large 
shipments  and  the  incarceration  of  some  of  the 
region's  largest  marijuana  importers. 


The  National  Institute  for  Drug  Abuse 
(NIDA)  released  a  report  stating  that  American 
high  school  students  abuse  drugs  more  than 
students  in  other  industrialized  countries. 
Alcohol  and  tobacco,  more  damaging  to  the 
body  than  cocaine  and  heroin,  still  remain  the 
two  most  popular  substances.  The  report  also 
discovered  that  80  percent  of  Americans  try  an 
illicit  drug  before  their  mid-20s,  and  30  percent 
of  college  students  use  cocaine  at  least  once. 

And  drug  testing  in  the  work  force  is  becom- 
ing more  commonplace.  In  fact,  President 
Reagan  proposed  mandatory  drug  testing  for 
federal  employees  in  "sensitive  jobs,"  including 
air  traffic  controlling,  which  started  a  controver- 
sy over  the  validity  of  drug  tests  and  whether 
testing  is  an  invasion  of  privacy  and  an  infringe- 
ment of  individual  rights.

new  face  lift. 


EL  SAL  QUAKE 

In  October  of  1986  an  earthquake  shook  El 
Salvador,  which  killed  at  least  400  people  and 
wounded  6,800,  according  to  initial  reports. 
The  poverty  stricken  neighborhoods  that  were 
hit  were  even  worse  off  since  2 1 ,000  were  left 
homeless.

DANILOFF  FREE 

American  journalist  Nicholas  Daniloff  ac- 
cused of  being  a  CIA  spy  by  the  Soviet  Union, 
returned  to  the  United  States  after  a  month's 
detention  in  Moscow. 

As  Daniloff  s  plane  touched  U.S.  soil,  Soviet 
physicist  and  U.N.  employee  Gennady 
Zakharov  was  heading  back  to  Moscow  after 
being  expelled  from  the  U.S.  for  spying. 

On  the  same  day  as  the  political  exchange, 
President  Reagan  and  Soviet  Leader  Mikhail 
Gorbachev  agreed  to  meet  in  Reykjavik,  Iceland 
to  discuss  an  agenda  and  set  specific  dates  for  an 
upcoming  Summit  in  the  United  States. 

Reagan  saw  the  pre-Summit  meeting  as  an 
opportunity  to  express  America's  concern  with 
Afghanistan,  human  rights  and  Soviet  es- 
pionage. Gorbachev's  top  priority  was  to  reach 
an  agreement  with  Reagan  to  slow  down 
Strategic  Defense  Initiative  (Star  Wars) 
research. 

However,  the  meeting  reportedly  ac- 
complished nothing  as  Reagan  was  firm  on  go- 
ing ahead  with  S.D.I. 


PARIS  TERROR 

In  September  of  1986,  France  fell  victim  to  a 
rash  of  terrorist  attacks.  Within  a  10  day 
period,  10  people  were  killed  in  five  separate 
bombings  in  Paris,  while  162  were  wounded.  A 
group  that  demanded  the  release  from  a  French 
prison  of  a  suspected  terrorist  leader,  claimed 
responsibility.  A  senior  French  official  cited 
evidence  linking  Syria  with  the  group,  but  there 
was  much  question  over  who  actually  conducted 
the  bombings.  Later  reports  indicated  Algerian 
ties.  The  French,  who  were  unwilling  to 
negotiate  a  release  of  the  prisoner,  feared  con- 
tinued attacks.  As  a  result,  French  citizens 
avoided  the  once  populated  public  places  and 
tourists  fled  while  others  cancelled  plans  to  visit. 


DISNEY'S 
PARTY 

In  October  of  1986  Americans  celebrated 
Walt  Disney  World's  15th  anniversary  and  the 
bicentennial  of  the  U.S.  Constitution.  The  list  of 
notables  in  Disney  World  ranged  from  former 
Chief  Justice  Warren  E.  Burger,  who  was  chair- 
man of  the  Bicentennial  Commission,  to  Dolly 
Parton.  Disney  promotors  unveiled  the  greatest 
surprise;  the  journalist  Nicholas  S.  Daniloff,  just 
back  from  Moscow.  One  of  the  journalists  asked 
Mr.  Burger  if  he  had  any  reservations  about  the 
bicentennial  being  linked  with  the  Disney  an- 
niversary, Mr.  Burger  said  no,  and  added,  "this 
is  obviously  a  patriotic  and  history  minded 
enterprise  down  here."

BOSTON'S  BEST 

We  have  a  winning  town.  With  the 
Celtics,  Patriots  and  Red  Sox  in  1986, 
Boston  fans  just  couldn't  lose. 

The  Green  Machine  beat  the  Houston 
Rockets,  becoming  NBA  champions  for  the 
16th  time.  Larry  Bird  and  teammates 
Dennis  Johnson,  Danny  Ainge,  Scott  Wed- 
man,  Kevin  McHale,  Robert  Parish  and 
newcomer  Bill  Walton  could  go  down  in 
history  as  the  best  all  around  team  to  hit  the 
parquet  floor.

right  the  Red  Sox)  made  it  to  the  World 
Series  against  the  New  York  Mets.  Roger 
Clemens  with  over  20  wins  in  the  season 
and  a  record-breaking  20  strike  outs  against 
the  Seattle  Mariners;  along  with  the  emo- 
tional Dennis  "Oil  Can"  Boyd  and  Bruce 
Hurst  they  gave  the  team  what  it  needed: 
quality  pitching.  And  with  Wade  Boggs, 
Jim  Rice  and  Marty  Barrett  behind  the 
plate,  all  the  American  League  East  division 
saw  in  1986  was  .  .  .  Red. 

The  Patriots  squished  the  fish  in  Miami, 
but  unfortunately  could  not  defrost  the 
"Fridge".  The  Patriots,  underdogs 
throughout  the  1986  season,  made  it  to 
Miami  to  beat  the  Dolphin's,  becoming 
AFC  champs.  To  many  people's  surprise, 
quarterback  Tony  Eason  matured  as  a 
player,  much  due  to  Steve  Grogan's 
guidance. 

The  Bruins?  Well  they  spent  the  most 
part  of  1986  making  management  and 
organizational  changes  —  but  hey,  three 
out  four  isn't  too  bad!

Northeastern's  sports  teams  have  given  their 
fans  a  lot  of  ups  and  downs,  and  just  as  many 
memories. 

The  men's  basketball  team,  led  by  Reggie 
Lewis,  went  to  the  NCAAs  every  year  that 
we've  been  here.  This  year,  under  new  coach 
Karl  Fogel,  they  are  ranked  23rd  by  Sports  Il- 
lustrated, and  who  knows,  maybe  they  will  go 
all  the  way  and  win  the  NCAAs. 

The  men's  hockey  team  won  back  -to-back, 
Beanpots,  ('84  and  '85)  beating  BU  in  the  final 
game  both  years.  Meanwhile  the  women  have 
more  than  held  their  own,  winning  every  Bean- 
pot  since  1984. 

The  men's  cross  country  team  continues  its 
winning  ways,  consistently  placing  in  the  top  10 
in  New  England,  while  the  women  start  to 
build  its  new  team. 

A  varsity  soccer  team  re-emerged  after  52 
years.  Although  they're  not  off  to  a  memorable 
start,  they've  encountered  a  few  problems  on  the 
road  to  success. 

The  women's  volleyball  team  won  the  Divi- 
sion 2  ECAC  title  in  1984  behind  Monique 
Ellis.  Under  a  new  head  coach  in  1985,  the 
Huskies  kept  the  tradition  going  by  successfully 
defending  their  Division  2  ECAC  crown.  In 
1986  the  team  moved  up  into  Division  1. 

The  men's  crew  team  is  on  an  upswing 
despite  a  declining  number  of  rowers  while  their 
female  counterparts  keep  hoping  for  a 
boathouse  of  their  own. 

Everett  Baker's  men's  outdoor  track  team  can 
do  no  wrong,  it  seems,  as  they  were  Greater 
Boston  Champions  three  straight  years  and 
New  England  team  champs  for  four. 

The  baseball  team  underwent  a  noisy 
coaching  change,  but  managed  to  overcome  the 
situation  to  go  25-14  for  new  coach  Neil 
McPhee.  That  was  good  enough  to  earn  them  a 
berth  in  the  ECACs. 

As  for  our  well-intentioned  football  team, 
they  did  have  a  winning  season,  .  .  .  yes,  it's 
true.  For  those  of  you  who  don't  remember,  or 
don't  believe,  whichever  the  case  may  be,  it  was 
in  1983  when  they  went  6-4-1.  ■  —  Lisa  M.

A  Change  in 
Offense 

There  is  only  one  word  to  describe  North- 
eastern's  football  team  over  these  past  five  years: 
frustrating.  Particularly  this  past  season. 

"The  one  word  that  describes  our  season 
perfectly  is  frustrating,''  head  coach  Paul 
Pawlak  lamented.  "We  were  very  close  to  win- 
ning several  games  that  we  lost,  and  with  proper 
execution  at  certain  points,  or  maybe  a  little 
luck,  we  would  have  pulled  them  out.  The  fans 
and  students  are  naturally  disappoinred  with  the 
poor  record,  but  no  one  is  more  frustrated  or 
disappointed  than  us  coaches  and  the  players 
themselves." 

The  only  shining  season  came  during  the 
1983  campaign  when  the  Huskies  went  6-4-1. 
Other  than  that,  the  Huskies  and  their  fans 
have  suffered  through  losing  seasons. 

In  hopes  of  bringing  happier  endings  to 
future  seasons,  Pawlak  instituted  the  run- 
oriented  wishbone  offense  for  the  1985  season. 
However,  the  results  were  the  same.  A  2-8 
record  for  1985  and  another  losing  record  in 
1986. 

Pawlak  says  that  in  1987  he  may  gear  the 
Husky  offense  towards  the  pass  as  quarterback 
Jim  O'Leary  enters  his  third  year.  However, 
Pawlak  says  that  the  possible  change  is  not  an 
indication  that  the  wishbone  doesn't  work, 
despite  what  the  critics  may  say. 

Senior  fullback  George  Olson,  who  has  seen 
two  completely  different  offenses  in  his  four 
years  as  a  Husky,  feels  that  the  wishbone  is  the 
right  offense  for  NU. 

"With  all  of  the  talented  running  backs  that 
we  have  here,  it  makes  sense  to  get  as  many  of 
them  into  the  game  as  possible,"  Olson  said. 

John  Butcofski,  a  senior  linebacker,  has  been 
a  force  on  defense,  despite  playing  in  the 
shadows  of  one  of  Northeastern's  greatest 
linebackers,  Shawn  O'Malley.  During  the  1985 
season  "Butco"  registered  112  tackles  to  place 
second  behind  O'Malley.  This  past  season 
proved  to  be  an  even  better  one  for  Butcofski  as 
he  emerged  from  the  shadows  to  dictate  the 
flow  of  the  defense. 

Despite  the  past  seasons,   Pawlak  contends 
that  his  team   has  never  given   up,   with  last    § 
season  being  no  exception.  g 

"This  team  never  gave  up,"  he  said.  "The  g 
team  was  always  classy  about  everything,  even  ~ 
when  we  lost  a  tough  game.  The  guys  put  out  5 
every  time  they  played,  and  I  don't  think  that  = 
there  is  too  much  more  that  you  can  ask  for,  I 
besides  a  winning  season."  ■  —  R.  Paul  3

e  things  never 
change 

Losing  seasons  are  not  something  that  the 
men's  cross  country  team  knows  about,  and 
from  all  indications,  they  won't  ever  know 
about  them. 

With  the  exception  of  the  names  and  faces, 
not  much  has  changed  with  coach  Everett 
Baker's  team.  They  are  consistently  ranked  as 
one  of  the  top  teams  in  New  England. 

During  the  1985  season  the  team  was  ranked 
10th  in  the  country  in  Division  I-AA.  As  a 
result  of  placing  fourth  in  the  IC4As,  NU  was 
one  of  two  teams  from  the  competition  to  reach 
the  NCAAs  where  they  placed  10th  out  of  a 
field  of  22. 

In  1984,  the  team  placed  second  in  the  New 
England's  held  at  Franklin  Park.  One  highlight 
of  the  meet  was  Chris  Gorman's  ('87)  second 
place  finish.  From  there  the  team  moved  on  to 
the  IC4As  finishing  eighth  in  a  field  of  42.  Gor- 
man placed  a  respectable  26th  in  the  meet. 

In  1983,  the  team  placed  second  in  both  the 
Greater  Boston  Championships  and  the  New 
England's.  In  the  IC4As  the  Huskies  finished 
one  point  ahead  of  Harvard,  but  lost  to  Dart- 
mouth. The  1983  season  was  a  great  one  for 
Gorman.  He  was  named  to  both  the  All-New 
England  and  the  A11-IC4A  squads.  His  eighth 
place  finish  in  the  IC4As  also  earned  him  a  spot 
on  the  All-East  team. 

In  1982  the  Huskies  placed  second  in  the 
NEs,  losing  to  the  second  best  team  in  the  coun- 
try, Providence. 

Northeastern 's  past  records  belie  the  fact  that 
"experts"  have  not  given  the  Huskies  much  of  a 
chance  for  winning  seasons.  Coach  Baker 
believes  he  and  the  New  York  Yankees  have 
something  in  common  when  it  comes  to 
cynicism  from  the  critics. 

"The  so-called  experts  didn't  rank  us  very 
high  this  season,"  commented  Baker.  "I  think 
that  they  were  hoping  we  would  take  a  tumble, 
and  not  perform  up  to  our  abilities.  We're  kind 
of  like  the  New  York  Yankees,  everybody  roots 
against  us,  because  they're  tired  of  seeing  us 
win."  ■  —  R.  Paul  Racette

Harriers  on  the  rise 


The  women's  cross  country  team  was  only 
established  in  1981.  According  to  coach  Tom 
Wittenhagen,  the  team  did  "a  reasonably  good 
job"  in  1982  considering  its  youth. 

The  New  England's  is  something  that  the 
Huskies  shoot  for  each  year,  "We  aim  for  it 
athletically  and  psychologically  when  training," 
said  Wittenhagen. 

In  1983  the  Huskies  came  in  13th  out  or  38. 
But  in  1984  Wittenhagen  believes  the  team 
grew  up.  It  showed  as  they  placed  fourth  in  the 
NEs.  There  were  several  runners  who  turned  in 
some  solid  individual  performances.  Mary  Kate 
Kennedy  placed  eighth  in  the  5000  meters, 
which  was  higher  than  her  1983  finish  of  29th. 
Mary  Ellen  Ernst  came  in  26th  in  the  meet. 

Except  for  a  couple  of  injuries,  the  1985 
season  was  "a  good  solid  year"  as  NU  finished 
10th  in  the  NEs.  Kennedy  missed  the  season 
with  an  iniury,  but  Donna  Petrsonch  filled  the 
void  and  finished  14th  in  the  5000  meters  in 
the  NEs. 

While  individual  runners  showed  improve- 
ment the  team  as  a  whole  slipped  a  few  notch- 
es. Overall,  NU  placed  14th  at  the  1986  NEs. 

"Injuries  played  a  great  part  in  our  poor 
showing  in  the  New  England  Championships. 
Two  of  our  top  five  runners  were  our  tor  that 
meet,  Mary  Kate  Kennedy  and  Ruth  O'Hara, 
were  injured,"  said  Wittenhagen. 

The  1986  season  wasn't  particularly 
memorable  as  the  Huskies  lost  all  of  their  c 
meets.  However,  all  was  not  lost  as  they  placed 
fifth  in  the  Greater  Boston  Invitanonals.  Petr- 
sonch, and  Elise  Papetti  placed  94th  and  127th 
respectively,  in  the  ECAC  meets. 

In  reflection  of  the  1986  season,  Wit- 
tenhagen said,  "They  compete  against  the  best 
in  New  England,  so  it's  not  really  fair  ro  say 
they  lost.  Our  biggest  problem  is  lack  of  depth. 
There  are  usually  10  or  so  runners,  so  if  there  are 
in|uries  we've  got  no  back-ups.  We're  trying  to 
gather  depth.  In  the  '87  season  we'll  have  about 
three  as  good  a  runners  as  there  are  in  New 
England,  Donna  Petrsonch,  Elise  Papetti  and 
Ruth  O'Hara  .  .  .  if  thcy'te  healrhy,"  said  Wit- 
tenhagen. ■  —  Kathleen  Fazio

Field  Hockey 

Seniors  leave 
a  mark 

Ever  since  Joan  Broderick  became  head 
coach,  the  Northeastern  women's  field  hockey 
team  has  developed  into  a  highly  reputable  and 
successful  team. 

Three  years  ago  this  wasn't  the  case  —  but  as 
players  like  co-captains  Karen  Davidson  and 
Karen  DiMeglio  have  matured,  so  has  the  team 
under  the  guidance  of  Broderick  and  her  assis- 
tant, Cheryl  Murtagh. 

The  1986  season  had  its  ups  and  downs,  but 
because  it's  a  young  team  consisting  of  10 
freshmen,  the  future  looks  extremely  bright. 
Despite  its  youth,  the  stickers  did  pull  off  a  9-8- 
1  season. 

"After  coming  off  such  a  spectacular  '85 
season  it  was  tough  with  such  a  young  team. 
But  at  one  point  during  the  season  we  were 
ranked  ninth  in  the  nation  and  that's  really 
something  to  be  proud  of,"  she  continued. 

During  that  "spectaculat"  '85  season,  the 
team  was  14-3-4  and  clinched  its  first  ECAC  ti- 
tle, led  by  class  of  '87  members  Eileen  Brennan 
and  Tracy  Marshall. 

The  1986  season  did  have  its  own  highlights: 
Davidson,  class  of  '88,  broke  the  all-time  scor- 
ing record  (55  goals)  and  scored  15  goals  this 
season  for  a  total  of  72  points  in  her  four-year 
career  with  the  red  and  black. 

DiMeglio,  the  other  fourth-yeat  playet  on  the 
squad,  was  a  strong  conttibuting  player,  accor- 
ding to  Broderick.  Despite  injuries  she  suffered 
over  the  seasons,  DiMeglio  stuck  with  the  sport 
and  will  graduate  this  year  with  a  degree  in  elec- 
trical engineering. 

Captains  of  the  1985  team,  Brennan  and 
Marshall,  who  will  also  graduate  this  year,  left 
their  marks  in  the  record  books  before  retiring 
their  sticks. 

Brennan  holds  the  all-time  assist  record  with 

24;  1 1  in  her  last  season  to  tie  for  most  assists  in 

a  season.  She  was  also  named  to  the  All-Boston 

Four  team  last  year.  Marshall,  named  All-New 

England  in  1985,  also  was  an  All-Boston  Four,     s 

Broderick    is    proud    of  all   of  her   student  1 

s 
athletes,  as  well  as  the  team's  accomplishments,    s 

"My  main  goal  is  to  continue  as  a  winning  i2 

team.   I  really  want  to  see  us  make  it  to  the  « 

NCAAs   and    become   an   established    top    10  J= 

team,"  she  said.  ■  —  Deb  Nyberg  »

An  uphill  battle 

Once  upon  a  time  there  was  a  varsity  soccer 
team  at  NU.  However,  in  1931  the  team  was 
demoted  to  intramural  status  until  it  was 
rescued  by  head  coach  Winston  Smith.  The 
three-year  record  of  9-42-2  isn't  a  valid  indica- 
tion of  what  the  team  has  tackled  in  its  first 
three  years. 

Smith,  a  1984  Northeastern  graduate,  had  to 
battle  many  obstacles  in  order  to  get  the  team 
off  the  ground.  He  realized,  along  with  the 
team  members,  that  without  proper  financing 
and  facilities,  it  wasn't  going  to  be  an  easy 
battle. 

The  results  don't  give  a  clear  picture  of  what 
has  happened  since  the  renewal  of  the  men's 
soccer  program.  Because  intramural  soccer  has 
produced  the  largest  turnout  of  all  intramural 
sports,  it  seemed  safe  to  assume  the  interest  was 
there. 

"I  knew  the  interest  was  there,"  said  Smith. 
"But  in  order  to  compete  against  the  top  ranked 
Division  1  schools  on  our  schedule,  we  needed 
the  ability  to  recruit."  Enter  obstacle  number 
one. 

The  team  plays  against  11  of  the  top  14 
teams  in  New  England,  yet  are  unable  to  recruit 
top  players  in  New  England. 

"We've  competed  against  Boston  University 
(a  7-1  loss),  who  were  sixth  in  the  country, 
Boston  College  (a  4-0  loss),  and  have  beaten  the 
University  of  Vermont  (1-0),  which  is  fifth  in 
New  England,"  said  Smith.  "But  we'll  nevet  be 
on  their  level  until  we  can  attract  the  players 
that  they  do." 

Injuries  have  also  plagued  the  team:  co- 
captains  Pat  Cavanaugh  and  Andrew  Dias  both 
underwent  arthroscopic  knee  surgery.  Enter 
obstacle  number  two. 

The  team  has  suffered  the  majority  of  its  in- 
juries on  Parsons  Field  because  of  the  Astroturf. 
The  surface  is  not  conducive  to  soccer,  and  as  a 
result,  many  ankle  and  knee  injuries  have 
resulted.  The  Dedham  facility  is  not  regulation 
size,  leaving  the  team  with  no  alternatives. 

All  things  considered,  Smith  seemed  surpris- 
ingly optimistic  at  the  end  of  the  '86  season. 

"I  love  the  team,"  said  the  part-time  coach. 
"But  I  haven't  enjoyed  the  time  off  the  field." 
One  could  barely  hear  the  softness  of  Smith's 
voice  when  he  announced  to  his  team  at  its  final 
game  that  he  was  not  returning  next  season. 

Let's  hope  that  the  team  will  enjoy  future 
success.  ■  —  D.  Kellie  Hea/y

Volleyball 

Shooting  for 
#1 

Northeastern's  women's  volleyball  team  has 
undergone  a  number  of  significant  changes  in 
past  years  and  all  have  spelled  success. 

Mark  Massey  took  the  helm  at  the  start  of  the 
1985  season,  having  previously  served  as  assis- 
tant coach  under  Peggy  Day.  In  his  debut 
Massey  and  newly-named  assistant  coach  Shirley 
Lynch  were  faced  with  the  overwhelming  task  of 
improving  upon  one  of  Northeastern  volley- 
ball's most  successful  seasons.  1984  brought  the 
lady  Huskies  a  35-7  record  and  the  Division  2 
ECACs  for  the  first  time. 

The  goals  that  Massey  set  in  1985  were  to 
win  the  ECACs  and  go  to  the  national  tourna- 
ment. In  compiling  a  26-6  record  behind  cap- 
tains Monique  Ellis  and  Maria  DiClemente,  the 
lady  Huskies  won  the  Division  2  ECACs  for  the 
second  straight  year.  Though  the  bid  for  na- 
tionals did  not  materialize,  the  ladies  took  a  seat 
among  the  top  20  teams  in  the  nation,  and  set  a 
record  16-game  winning  streak. 

"It  was  an  easy  transition  for  me  having  been 
assistant  coach  and  familiar  with  the  team," 
said  Massey  on  his  move  to  the  helm.  "But  it 
was  a  difficult  act  to  follow." 

Entering  the  1986  season  Massey,  Lynch  and 
the  Huskies  faced  yet  more  challenges:  the  loss 
of  four  key  starters,  among  them  Monique  Ellis 
—  the  best  attacker  in  New  England,  and  a 
move  up  to  Division  1 . 

On  November  18th,  at  the  close  of  their  first 
season  in  Division  1,  the  lady  Huskies,  with  a 
record  of  19-13,  met  that  goal. 

"This  team  is  made  up  of  12  people  who 
have  wotked  hard  to  form  a  new  team  and  a 
new  personality.  After  the  loss  of  players  like 
Monique  we  acquired  a  number  of  freshmen," 
said  Massey. 

The  Huskies  closed  their  1986  season  exactly 
where  they  wanted:  as  one  of  the  top  four  teams 
in  New  England  and  one  of  the  top  independent 
teams  in  the  nation.  Behind  sophomore  captain 
Jill  Long  the  Huskies  hope  next  year  to  be  the 
top  independent  team. 

"Jill  is  a  kind  of  glue  for  this  team  that  pulls 
it  all  together,"  said  Massey.  "But  we  are  receiv- 
ing a  steady  contribution  from  everybody  on  a 
regular  basis."  ■  —  Michelle  DeBlasi

Buzz  Congram's  squad  has  decreased  in  size 
the  last  five  years,  but  has  grown  in  potential. 
Thanks  to  a  number  of  young  experienced 
rowers,  he  feels  his  men's  crew  team  has  a  great 
future. 

"The  program  is  on  an  upward  swing,"  said 
Congram.  "There  is  a  positive  feeling  among 
the  guys,  and  this  year  we'll  lose  fewer  rowers  to 
graduation." 

The  three  rowers  who  won't  be  returning 
after  the  '87  season  are  Steve  Potter,  Craig  Raz- 
za  and  Jim  Riordan.  These  fourth-year  rowers 
have  dedicated  themselves  to  a  sport  which  has 
basically  become  a  way  of  life. 

Potter  is  praised  by  Congram  for  his  rowing 
versatility.  "Steve  has  been  a  varsity  oarsman  for 
three  years,"  said  Congram.  "He  has  rowed 
almost  every  seat  in  the  boat  and  has  aspirations 
of  making  the  USA  national  team." 

Razza  and  Riordan  have  also  dedicated  a 
great  deal  of  time  and  energy  to  the  team  in  the 
past  four  years.  "Craig  is  fairly  small,  but  for  his 
size  he  has  really  been  a  competitive  oarsman," 
said  Congram  of  Razza's  performance  in  the 
second  and  third  varsity  boats. 

"Jim  is  a  strong  guy  who  works  hard;  he  real- 
ly pushes  himself,"  added  Congram  of  Rior- 
dan's  efforts  in  the  third  varsity  boat.  Congram 
feels  that  those  varsity  rowers  who  have  stuck  it 
out  have  been  rewarded  for  their  patience. 

Among  this  list  are  last  year's  captain,  Chuck 
Czworkowski,  Derek  Daly,  Lyle  Hamerla, 
Kevin  Hogan,  Scott  Quiana,  Charlie  Ryan, 
Rich  Sampson,  Mike  Turner  and  Tom  White. 
Frank  Quarto,  who  now  assists  freshman  coach 
Gary  Caldwell,  had  completed  his  fourth  year  of 
rowing  with  last  year's  team. 

Congram  plans  to  turn  1986's  losses  into  vic- 
tories in  1987.  "Last  year  we  were  competitive 
but  other  crews  outpowered  us  in  the  last  500 
yards,"  said  Congram.  "We'd  like  to  be  able  to 
improve  on  that  this  year." 

Captain  Boucher  added  a  touch  of  maturity 
to  the  '87  squad.  The  25-year-old  junior  rower 
from  Manchester,  N.H.,  is  valued  for  his  leader- 
ship ability. 

"Given  the  makeup  of  the  squad  and  the 
personality  of  the  guys,  John  was  the  perfect 
candidate,"  said  Congram.  "He  takes  charge 
and  is  able  to  relate  to  the  entire  squad."  ■  —

Men's  Outdoor  Track 


Encore,  Please 

What  can  men's  outdoor  track  coach  Everett 
Baker  do  for  an  encore?  Since  1983  his  team  has 
compiled  a  15-1  dual  meet  record,  three  con- 
secutive Greater  Boston  Championships  ('84, 
'85,  '86),  and  four  consecutive  New  England 
team  championships:  '83,  '84,  '85,  '86. 

Their  formula  for  success:  take  some  depth 
and  mix  it  with  a  few  superstars. 

"We'll  have  35-40  people  participating, 
while  other  schools  have  15,"  Baker  said.  "An 
awful  lot  of  individuals  get  3rds,  4ths,  and  5ths 
—  that  adds  up  to  a  championship  team,"  he 
continued. 

"Mr.  Northeastern  Track,"  a.k.a.  Lonnie 
Hooker,  has  been  an  "impact  performer," 
Baker  said. 

"There  will  never  be  another  dashman  as 
dominant.  With  his  time  of  20.86  in  the  220 
meters  (last  season)  he  just  missed  the  NCAAs, 
and  he's  also  been  a  mainstay  of  the  4x100 
meter  relay."  (With  John  Ndukwu,  Billy  Mc- 
Coy, and  Arthur  Allen,  the  relay  team  won  the 
IC4A  Championships  in  1986.)  Hooker  also 
won  the  100  and  200  meters  two  straight  years 
at  the  New  Englands. 

Hurdler  Geoff  Calderone,  "the  fastest 
hurdler  going  to  school  in  New  England,"  ac- 
cording to  Baker,  set  a  meet  record  in  the  110 
meter  hurdles  at  the  New  Englands,  and  400 
meter  hurdler  Paul  Quitzau,  who  re-wrote  the 
record  books,  won  his  event  at  the  GBCs  and 
New  Englands  in  1984  and  1985.  He  also 
joined  the  1600  meter  relay  with  Roy  Higgins, 
Nick  Josie,  and  Billy  McCoy  in  1984  that  won 
the  New  Englands;  the  following  year  Quitzau, 
Nixon  Frederick,  McCoy,  and  Josie  repeated 
their  performance. 

Besides  his  part  in  victorious  relay  teams, 
McCoy  is  a  specialist  in  the  quarter  mile,  an 
event  he  has  dominated  in  the  GBCs. 

Cross-town  rival  BU  follows  the  Huskies 
closely.  Baker  called  many  of  their  victories 
"thrillers,"  like  Tim  Gannon's  second  place  in 
the  5,000  meters  last  season  that  propelled  the 
Huskies  four  points  past  BU  at  the  GBCs. 

With  a  firmly  established  tradition  of  suc- 
cess, Baker  expects  no  less  from  his  runners, 
jumpers,  hurdlers,  and  weightmen. 

"Everybody  is  dedicated  and  doing  their 
part,"  he  said.  ■  —  Paula  Ficarra

Things  can 

only  get 

better 

The  past  five  years  for  the  women's  outdoor 
track  team  has  featured  two  unbroken  records 
set  by  team  members  and  many  more  in- 
dividual victories. 

In  1982,  Northeastern  placed  eighth  in  the 
New  Englands,  Sandy  Burke  was  the  Husky 
star  that  season  as  she  placed  second  in  the 
ECACs  in  the  shot-put  and  was  named  national 
champion  in  that  event  with  a  record  toss  of 
52'6".  That  record,  says  coach  Tom  Wit- 
tenhagen,  still  remains.  "She  was  by  far  the  best 
athlete  in  the  history  of  Northeastern,"  he  said. 

The  highlight  of  the  1983  season  was  Mary 
Kate  Kennedy's  first  place  win  in  the  half-mile 
with  a  time  of  2: 13.3  at  the  N.E.s,  while  Kelly 
Toole  placed  first  in  the  100  meter  hurdles  dur- 
ing the  1984  N.E.s. 

"The  best  meet  in  the  history  of  NU's 
women's  outdoor  track  was  at  the  1985  New 
Englands  when  we  placed  third,"  said  Wit- 
tenhagen.  Toole  again  placed  fourth  in  the 
N.E.s,  which  made  her  a  six-time  New  England 
champion.  Cheryl  Vedder  placed  second  in  the 
400  meters  during  that  same  meet,  and 
Michelle  Millane  captured  first  place  in  the 
discus  with  a  toss  of  15 5' 10".  That  record  also 
still  stands. 

Although  the  team  dropped  to  sixth  in  the 
NEs  in  1986,  Wittenhagen  believes  that  things 
can  only  get  better. 

"Now  we've  reached  our  apex  .  .  .  only  a  few 
points  from  the  New  England  Champions.  We 
had  a  fine  crop  of  runners  in  1986,  but  there 
were  numerous  injuries.  It  was  a  young  team 
with  the  graduation  of  Kelly  Toole  and  others. 
However,  with  one  year  under  their  belt,  we  ex- 
pect big  things  to  occur  this  year  ('87),"  said 
Wittenhagen.  ■  —  Kathleen  Fazio

Baseball 

Movie 
Material? 

From  1982  through  the  1985  season  Charlie 
O'Malley  coached  Northeastern's  baseball  team. 
During  that  time  several  NU  records  were 
broken,  but,  other  than  that,  the  Huskies  had  a 
combined  record  of  58-73-1  during  O'Malley's 
tenure. 

Things  changed  in  1985-1986.  O'Malley 
had  publicly  criticized  Athletic  Director  Irwin 
Cohen's  handling  of  the  team's  budget  in  1985. 
Harsh  words  were  exchanged.  The  team  had  a 
losing  record  during  O'Malley's  four  years. 
Cohen  decided  to  give  the  program  a  new  direc- 
tion; he  didn't  re-hire  O'Malley  after  his  con- 
tract ran  out. 

Enter  Neil  McPhee,  a  former  two-sport 
(baseball  and  hockey)  star  at  NU.  McPhee  knew 
he  was  stepping  into  a  tense  situation  because 
O'Malley  was  well-liked  by  his  players.  So,  in- 
stead of  forcing  himself  on  his  players,  he  decid- 
ed to  play  it  cool. 

"In  retrospect,  I'm  glad  I  wasn't  involved  in 
the  controversy,"  McPhee  said.  "I  came  in  with 
my  eyes  closed,  not  knowing  what  to  expect.  My 
players  understood  that.  They  treated  me  rather 
well.  They  gave  me  a  great  season,"  he 
continued. 

Indeed.  The  Huskies  went  25-14  and  fin- 
ished second  in  the  ECAC-North  Conference 
behind  the  University  of  Maine.  McPhee  was 
named  the  league's  coach  of  the  year. 

Even  though  the  Huskies  bowed  to  Maine  in 
the  playoffs,  they  had  beaten  the  Black  Bears 
twice. 

"That  was  no  fluke,"  McPhee  said.  "We 
played  Maine  tough  all  season  and  Brian 
(Baldwin,  who  pitched  both  games)  was 
especially  tough  on  them.  We  beat  a  good  team 
convincingly  (in  the  playoff).  It  felt  good  to  be 
the  better  team  that  day." 

The  team  got  a  lot  of  help  from  senior  cap- 
tain Paul  DiPillo. 

"He  was  a  natural  captain,"  McPhee  said. 
"He  was  a  tremendous  leader.  When  the  team 
needed  a  lift  he  was  always  there.  We'll  really 
miss  his  leadership  this  year  ( 1987)."  1 

McPhee  had  superlatives  for  everyone  on  the  f 
team.  When  asked  to  sum  up  the  entire  team,  5 
in  one  word,  he  said  —  "character."  g 

"Character  is  something  they  had  a  lot  of.  o 
With  all  the  things  which  happened  before  the  | 
year  and  seeing  the  way  they  played,  you  3 
couldn't  help  but  see  character  in  that.  1 

"It  was  incredible.  They  came  back  so  many  ,3 
times  from  so  many  things.  They  make  movies  ' 
about  stuff  like  this."  ■  — Jim  Mosber

Future 


success 

Lacrosse  looks  this  spring,  with  hope  and  an- 
ticipation, toward  breaking  the  .500  mark. 

Having  moved  into  the  Division  1  slot  just 
five  years  ago,  the  competition  has  changed 
drastically.  Although  the  program  began  in  the 
60's,  head  coach  Joan  Broderick's  team  has  real- 
ly hustled,  playing  some  of  the  nation's 
toughest. 

In  her  third  year,  Broderick,  who  also  coaches 
field  hockey,  sees  her  young  team  heading 
towards  a  successful  future. 

"We  were  way  over  our  heads  as  far  as  our 
schedule  was  concerned,"  said  Broderick.  "But 
we've  adjusted  to  it  with  more  realistic  competi- 
tion and  now  we're  getting  our  feet  back  on  the 
ground  and  the  program,  I  feel,  is  really  going 
to  start  going  places." 

The  1987  team,  to  be  led  by  fourth  year 
players  Liz  Gaudet  and  Katie  McPartlan,  is  fac- 
ing a  reduced  schedule  that  they  hope  will  bring 
them  past  their  4-12  record  of  last  season. 

McPartlan,  from  Worcester,  MA,  is  grad- 
uating with  the  class  of  '87.  Broderick,  who 
plays  McPartlan  at  the  attack  position  is  looking 
for  a  big  scoring  year  from  the  "much  improved 
player." 

Gaudet,  class  of  '88,  who  is  a  co-captain  with 
McPartlan,  is  from  Lexington,  MA,  and  one  of 
the  Huskies'  most  consistent  defensive  players, 
according  to  Broderick. 

Also  graduating  this  year  is  Patty  McCarty, 
who  captained  the  1986  team.  McCarty,  a  New 
Jersey  native,  was  the  team's  goalie  and  a  very 
skilled  player  who  will  be  missed  by  this  year's 
defensive  squad. 

A  big  part  of  the  team's  hard  work  and  im- 
provement, beyond  the  athletes,  is  the  assistant 
coach,  Cheryl  Murtagh,  Broderick  said. 

"Cheryl  really  helps  me  work  towards  the 
betterment  of  both  teams  (field  hockey  and 
lacrosse.)  We're  really  a  Cagney  and  Lacey 
pair." 

Hopefully  this  Huntington  Ave.  pair  of 
coaches  can  help  this  season's  lacrosse  team 
make  its  niche  in  the  Division  1  ratings  and 
become  a  team  to  watch  each  week.  ■  —  Deb

Women's  Crew 


Improves 

Beth  Emery,  coach  of  the  women's  crew  team 
the  past  three  years,  has  witnessed  her  novice 
rowers  develop  into  mature  varsity  oarswomen. 

Emery,  a  Northeastern  graduate,  and  a  former 
member  of  the  women's  team,  is  very  familiar  with 
the  politics  of  women's  athletics.  As  a  part-time 
coach,  she  is  unable  to  get  the  financial  backing 
that  many  men's  teams  get,  and  as  a  result,  the 
team  has  suffered. 

"They've  talked  about  placing  more  money  into 
the  women's  program  when  the  new  boathouse  is 
completed,"  said  Emery.  "But,  we  are  still  waiting 
on  the  bill  for  the  boathouse  to  pass." 

For  Northeastern  to  acquire  a  piece  of  land  on  0 
the  Charles  River  to  build  the  boathouse,  the  f 
University  would  need  to  lease  the  property  from  ^ 
the  Metropolitan  District  Commission  on  a  long-  ^ 
term  basis.  s 

The  women's  team,  established  just  10  years  S 
ago,  has  progressed  by  leaps  and  bounds  since  j 
Emery  took  the  head  coaching  position. 

"She  is  totally  positive,"  said  '87  co-captain 
Lynel  Tocci.  "She's  added  a  real  stability  to  the 
team  and  has  helped  us  become  more  victorious  as 
a  result." 

The  team  presently  shares  Boston  University's 
boathouse;  BU  is  also  one  of  NU's  toughest  com- 
petitors. "It  makes  it  very  difficult,"  said  Tocci.  "It 
limits  us  on  equipment  also." 

Not  to  mention  identity  as  a  team.  "There  is  a 
lot  of  tension  having  to  share  BU's  boathouse,"  ad- 
ded '87  co-captain  Aimee  Lyons.  "I  think  having 
one  boathouse  for  the  men  and  women  would  pro- 
mote more  unity  for  the  school." 

"This  is  going  to  be  an  emotional  year  for  me," 
said  Emery,  who  has  grown  as  a  coach  with  her 
fourth-year  rowers.  "There  are  a  lot  of  people  that  I 
feel  very  close  to;  it  will  be  tough  to  see  them 
graduate." 

'  'The  morale  is  definitely  better  than  it  has  been 
in  past  years,"  said  Emery.  "The  team  has  improv- 
ed from  being  in  the  top  12  in  the  Eastern  Rowing 
Sprints  to  up  near  the  top  six." 

The  future  of  women's  crew  and  the  morale  of 
each  rower  depends  heavily  on  the  new  boathouse. 
But  for  those  who  have  been  part  of  the  women's 
crew  team  in  the  past  five  years,  Beth  Emery  is  a 
step  in  the  right  direction.  The  next  step  is  the 
boathouse.  ■  |

TENNIS 

On  the  Upswing 

For  women's  tennis,  the  past  few  years  have 
been  a  rollercoaster  ride. 

Dorett  Hope's  squad  has  climbed  from  8-3 
(1982),  to  8-5  in  1983.  1984  brought  them  to 
5-5,  and  the  next  season  concluded  with  a 
disappointing  2-9  record.  On  the  rise  once 
again  after  a  successful  1986  campaign, 
women's  tennis  had  a  7-3  finish  and  a  fourth 
place  in  the  Seaboard  Conference 
Championships. 

Despite  the  fluctuations,  Hope  said  that  their 
switch  to  Division  1  a  few  years  ago  has  had  a 
positive  effect. 

"The  caliber  of  play  improved  when  we 
switched.  Although  our  record  hasn't  improved, 
our  play  has,''  she  said. 

However,  Northeastern  players  have  been 
successful  in  tournament  play:  last  year's  captain 
Susan  Jarvis  (class  of  '87)  lost  in  the  consolation 
finals  of  the  New  England  Women's  Inter- 
collegiate Tennis  Championships  in  1985,  and 
Karen  Nelson  and  her  doubles  partner  Julie 
Beauchemin  played  second  doubles  at  the 
MAIAW  finals  where  they  lost  to  Smith  College 
in  three  sets. 

A  highlight  from  the  current  season  was 
soundly  defeating  Central  Connecticut  State 
University,  6-3,  and  breaking  their  36-match 
winning  streak.  Senior  Ilene  Lieberman  at- 
tributes the  victory  to  her  teammates'  talent. 

"I  think  we  were  strong.  We  had  more  depth 
than  any  other  team  I  was  on,"  she  said. 

Lieberman,  who  was  the  number  one  singles 
player  during  her  freshman  and  sophomore 
years,  fell  on  a  court  and  spent  the  next  two 
years  sidelined.  Maintaining  the  number  three 
singles  spot  after  her  return  this  season,  Lieber- 
man went  on  to  win  the  third  singles  consola- 
tion final  at  the  New  Englands,  while  team- 
mates Aileen  Smith  (number  one  singles),  and 
Shareine  Moustafa  (number  one  singles)  both 
finished  third  in  their  divisions. 

"I  finished  where  I  was  expected  to  in  tour- 
naments, but  I  had  hoped  to  do  better,"  Smith 
said. 

Paired  with  Lieberman  for  first  doubles,  they 
went  undefeated  all  season.    —  Paula  Ficarra

Men's  Basketball 


Lewis,  LaFleur  and  Fuller  lead  the  way 


The  biggest  change  in  the  men's  basketball 
team  in  the  last  five  years  has  been  Jim 
Calhoun's  departure  as  head  coach  in  May, 
1986.  Calhoun  was  the  Huskies  all-time  win- 
ningest  coach.  Karl  Fogel,  Calhoun's  right-hand 
man,  stepped  in  to  take  over  the  top  spot.  Many 
experts  don't  think  the  Huskies  will  skip  a  beat 
as  a  result  of  the  change. 

The  Huskies  have  appeared  five  times,  three 
in  a  row,  in  the  NCAAs.  They  have  posted 
some  impressive  wins  in  the  tourney  over  the 
years.  They  beat  nationally  ranked  Fresno  State 
in  1981,  and  St.  Joseph's  in  1982.  NU's 
elimination  in  triple  overtime  to  Villanova  is 
considered  by  many  to  be  one  of  the  "best 
games"  ever  to  be  played  during  the  NCAAs. 

The  last  three  seasons  have  been  the  most 
successful  in  the  team's  65-year  history  due  to 
players  like  Mark  Halsel,  Reggie  Lewis,  Wes 
Fuller  and  Andre  LaFleur.  Halsel  led  the 
Huskies  to  its  best  season  in  1983-84  with  a 
27-5  record.  The  tri-captains  of  this  year's  team, 
Lewis,  Fuller  and  LaFleur,  have  combined  to 
help  the  Hounds  to  a  3-year,  75-19  record. 

While  the  Huskies  have  all  five  of  their 
starters  returning,  as  well  as  10  veterans,  they 
face  an  extremely  tough  schedule.  They  will 
meet  St.  Joseph's,  Syracuse,  Jacksonville,  and 
Big  Eight  member  Oklahoma  State,  as  well  as 
BU,  Canisius,  Niagara  and  Siena. 

While  Lewis,  Fuller  and  LaFleur  are  the  best 
known  team  members,  the  other  two  starters, 
John  Williams  and  Kevin  McDuffie,  should 
not  be  forgotten  or  overlooked.  Coming  off  the 
bench  they  have  seniors  Gerry  Corcoran  and 
Kevin  Lee  as  well  as  Derrick  Lewis. 

The  team  got  off  to  a  great  start  as  they  beat 
defending   national   champs   Louisville   in   the 
Great  Alaskan  Shoot-out  in  Anchorage,  Alaska. 
Let's  hope  this  is  a  sign  of  things  to  come.  ■

the  story 

In  the  seven  years  that  Joy  Malchodi  has  been 
at  the  helm  of  Northeastern's  women's  basket- 
ball team,  the  lady  Huskies  have  gone  from  a 
weak  Division  2  team  to  a  strong  Division  1 
contender.  With  an  aggressive  style  of  play, 
pressure  play  defense  and  patience  to  wait  on 
the  good  shots,  they  have  placed  themselves 
among  the  top  Division  1  competitors.  They 
have  taken  home  the  Seaboard  Conference 
Championship  two  years  in  a  row  ('85  and  '86) 
with  impressive  victories  over  UNH  and  top- 
ranked  BU. 

Malchodi  came  to  NU  from  Indiana  with  the 
goal  of  improving  the  Husky  schedule  and  in- 
creasing recruiting.  The  first  step  was  to  develop 
full  scholarships  to  lure  promising  high  school 
talent  that  would  help  to  develop  a  solid  base  to 
build  on.  The  next  step  was  to  schedule  some 
serious  Division  1  competition.  (Previously,  the 
Huskies  faced  some  Division  1  teams,  but  their 
schedule  pitted  them  mostly  against  teams  of 
the  Division  2  and  3  caliber.) 

"Each  year  we  compile  a  better  record  with  a 
more  competitive  schedule,''  said  Malchodi.  In 
support     the     statistics     tell     the     story.     In 
Malchodi's  third  season  as  head  coach,  the  lady  ,, 
hoopsters  went  to  the  final  four  of  Region   1  § 
AIAW.  The  following  season,  after  compiling  S 
19  wins,  they  came  in  second  in  the  ECACs.  In  a 
the    past    three    seasons,    the    Huskies    have  | 
compiled  wins  of  19,  22  and  20.  The  1984-85  8 
season  served  as  their  most  successful  with  a  g 
record    of   22-7    and    the    first    of   their    two 
Seaboard  Championships. 

The  1985-86  season  brought  the  Huskies 
their  second  consecutive  championship  with  a 
record  of  17-12.  Three  of  their  12  losses  had 
been  games  forfeited  due  to  an  ineligible  player 
discovered  mid-season.  "We  look  upon  last 
season  as  being  20-7,"  Malchodi  said.  "We 
don't  look  at  those  three  games  as  losses,  it  was 
something  unfortunate." 

Behind  key  players  Carla  Singleton,  Joanne 
Healey,  Adrienne  Colbert  and  newly  named 
assistant  coach  Corinne  Gulas,  the  Huskies  are 
looking  to  gain  a  birth  in  the  NCAAs.  Unlike 
the  men's  teams,  the  women  are  not  ensured  a 
spot.  The  teams  must  be  picked  to  participate. 
The  Huskies  are  looking  to  their  competitive 
schedule  and  a  consistent  climb  in  the  Eastern 
Conference  to  gain  such  a  spot  and  complete  the 
turn-around  Joy  Malchodi  began  seven  years 
ago.  ■  —  Michelle  DeBlasi

Men's  Hockey 


A  bright  future 

Since  we've  been  here,  the  men's  ice  hockey 
team  and  its  fans  have  been  on  a  roller  coaster 
ride  with  alternating  winning  and  losing 
seasons. 

In  1982-83,  they  were  13-14-1,  in  1983-84 
they  were  16-12-1,  in  1984-85  they  were  13- 
24-1,  and  last  season  they  compiled  a  record  of 
20-17-2.  But,  we  also  saw  the  Beanpot  come  to 
Huntington  Avenue  in  1983  and  1984. 

Last  season  marked  the  second  time  this 
decade  that  the  Huskies  have  won  20  games. 
They  were  an  explosive  team  and  proved  they 
could  play  with,  and  beat,  hockey  powerhouses 
Minnesota  (a  sweep),  Wisconsin,  North  Dakota 
and  Northern  Michigan.  The  Huskies  played 
extremely  well  at  home  with  a  13-4-2  record  to 
prove  it.  They  also  took  care  of  the  BU  "jinx" 
when  they  beat  the  Terriers  at  Walter  Brown 
Arena,  twice.  But,  it  was  perhaps  a  record  of  1- 
6-1  in  their  last  eight  games  that  sealed  their 
fate,  that  and  the  fact  that  BU  and  BC  hit  their 
stride  during  the  Husky  slide. 

Goalie  Bruce  Racine  was  the  backbone  of  the 
team,  as  usual.  However,  in  playing  2,212 
minutes  in  37  games  (an  NU  record),  Racine 
suffered  from  fatigue  when  they  needed  him  the 
most.  Senior  Jay  Heinbuck  surprised  a  lot  of 
people  when  he  set  a  single  season  assist  and 
points  record  with  an  aggregate  of  30-40-70, 
second  only  to  BC's  Scott  Harlow.  Rod  Isbister 
also  had  another  of  his  banner  years  for  the 
Hounds  with  27  goals  and  29  assists  for  56 
points  last  year. 

Although  the  Huskies  have  lost  Isbister  and 
Heinbuck,  the  Hounds  of  Huntington  Avenue 
do  have  a  group  of  solid  players,  led  by  Racine. 
Flaman  promises  that  Racine  will  have  more 
rest  this  season  as  Mike  Errico  and  Chris  Long 
will  make  more  appearances  in  the  nets. 

On  defense,  the  loss  of  Scott  Marshall  and 
Paul  Fitzsimmons  hurts.  However,  junior 
Clause  Lodin,  sophomore  Marty  Raus,  one  of 
Hockey  East's  best  defensemen  last  season,  will 
return  along  with  Brian  Dowd  and  seniors 
Gerry  Kiley  and  Bill  Whitfield. 

As  for  the  front  lines,  they  will  be  manned  by 
Rico  Rossi,  captain  Greg  Pratt,  Kevin  Heffer- 
nan,  David  O'Brien  and  Roman  Kinal.  They 
will  be  joined  by  players  who  showed  promise 
last  season  —  Dave  Buda,  Peter  Massey,  and 
Gregg  Polak.  ■

Women's  Hockey 


A  tough  act  to  follow 


Earlier  this  year  head  coach  Don  MacLeod,  in 
his  sixth  year  at  NU,  was  full  of  praise  for  his 
women's  ice  hockey  team.  The  team's  successful 
history  has  kept  MacLeod  very  optimistic. 

"We  may  just  have  the  best  varsity  record  of 
all  of  the  Northeastern  sports  teams,"  said  the 
part-time  coach,  whose  1985-86  team  was 
ranked  second  in  the  nation. 

MacLeod,  having  lost  five  strong  starters 
from  last  year's  squad,  felt  the  team  looked 
strong  even  in  the  early  stages  of  practice. 

"This  was  supposed  to  be  a  building  year 
because  we  lost  the  majority  of  our  defense," 
said  MacLeod.  "But  actually,  they're  playing 
together  really  well.  I  didn't  expect  the  team  to 
be  this  good  at  the  very  beginning." 

The  strength  of  co-captains  Tina  Cardinale 
and  Marge  Sanford  can  help  combat  the  loss  of 
the  experienced  players.  Cardinale,  a  junior  for- 
ward from  Hudson,  contributed  15  goals  to  last 
year's  team.  Sanford,  a  junior  from  Medway, 
assisted  the  defense  to  the  team's  fourth  con- 
secutive Beanpot  title. 

Cardinale  will  be  aided  on  offense  by  the  ex- 
perience of  Fiona  Rice,  Chris  Fitzgerald,  Ruth 
Rosenthal,  and  Tamara  McLaughlin.  Addi- 
tionally, the  offense  has  the  new  talent  of  Lucy 
Goodwin,  Joy  Woodley  and  Julie  Piacentine. 

But,  it's  the  defense  that  will  be  the  key  to 
the  1986-87  team.  With  the  young  defense, 
coach  MacLeod  will  be  trying  to  work  out  a 
system  which  best  fits  their  abilities.  Veterans 
Donna-Lynn  Rosa  and  Sanford  will  be  working 
with  new-comers  Charlotte  Hall  and  Maryanne 
Hamilton. 

Goaltending  is  left  to  veteran  Marie  Devine 
(5-0-0  last  year)  and  sophomore  Kelly  Dyer  (4- 
2-1  last  year).  With  the  loss  of  Patti  Hunt, 
MacLeod  will  be  depending  on  both  goalies  to 
be  consistent  and  effective. 

The  women's  ice  hockey  team  in  1986-87 
has  got  a  tough  act  to  follow.  After  last  year's 
fourth  consecutive  Beanpot  title,  first  place  at 
the  Concordia  Tournament,  a  19-4-1  record, 
and  a  national  ranking  of  second,  it  would  take 
a  near  perfect  season  to  top  it.  But  MacLeod 
feels  their  difficult  schedule  is  just  the  challenge 
his  women  need.  ■

Men's  Indoor  Track 


Seniors  rule 

The  NU  men's  indoor  track  team  isn't  lack- 
ing athletes  with  a  rough  number  of  36  runners. 
Head  coach  Everett  Baker,  who  moved  up  from 
assistant  coach  in  1984  to  replace  Irwin  Cohen, 
takes  "lots  of  satisfaction  in  comments  from 
people  who  equate  our  team  with  a  large  group 
of  people  who  go  out  and  take  third,  fourth, 
fifth  and  sixth  places  that  add  up  to  a  cham- 
pionship performance.'' 

The  1985-86  team,  led  by  captains  Arthur 
Allen  and  Lawrence  Hooker,  placed  first  in  both 
the  New  England's  and  the  Greater  Boston 
Championships.  Richard  Palma,  Paul  Quitzau 
and  Geoff  Caldarone  took  first  place  in  the  pen- 
tathalon,  the  60-yard  dash,  and  the  60-yard 
hurdles,  respectively,  at  the  GBCs.  Hooker  and 
Caldarone  also  captured  first  in  the  semi-finals 
and  finals  of  the  5  5 -meter  dash  and  5  5 -meter 
hurdles,  respectively,  at  the  GBCs. 

In  the  1984-85  season,  NU  placed  first  in 
the  GBCs  and  second,  behind  BU,  in  the  NEs. 
The  team's  top  performers  were  Hooker,  Gary 
Montiero  and  Nick  Josey.  Shot  putter  Mike  Di- 
Quattro  placed  first  in  both  the  GBCs  and  NEs. 
The  Huskies  re-emerged  as  winners  during 
the  1983-84  season  as  they  stole  first  place  in 
the  NEs  and  GBCs.  Steve  Seargent  became  an 
Ail-American  for  the  indoor  mile.  Kevin 
Hopkins  broke  the  NU  indoor  record  for  the 
high  jump  with  a  jump  of  7'. 

In  the  1982-83  season  NU  again  placed  sec- 
ond behind  BU  in  both  the  NEs  and  the  GBCs, 
but  managed  to  set  a  new  record  at  the  GBCs 
for  the  two-mile  relay. 

As  for  the  1986-87  campaign,  Baker  says, 
"We  will  have  to  rely  on  seniors  now.  We'll  see 
distance  runners  doing  better."  Baker  would 
like  to  see  the  team  compete  on  a  national  level 
and  get  more  of  the  attention  it  deserves.  ■

Feast  or  famine? 


The  fortunes  of  the  women's  indoor  track 
team  have  depended  upon  the  condition  of  the 
athletes:  because  coach  Tom  Wittenhagen's 
team  is  small,  the  loss  of  one  runner  can  affect 
the  team's  standing. 

"In  the  New  England's  two  years  ago  we  got 
45  points;  last  year,  with  three  of  our  people  in- 
jured, we  dropped  to  13  points,"  Wittenhagen 
said. 

But  over  the  years,  the  young  women's  in- 
door track  team  has  been  graced  by  the  likes  of 
shot  putter  Sandy  Burke;  distance  runner  Mia 
Mahedy;  hurdler  Kelly  Toole,  one  of  the  best  in 
New  England;  senior  Michelle  Millane,  who 
holds  the  school  record  in  the  discus;  and  junior 
Donna  Petrsorich,  who  holds  the  mile  and 
3,000-meter  indoor  records  at  Northeastern. 

"Last  year  Donna  made  the  finals  of  the 
1500-meter  run  at  the  ECACs.  That  was  an 
outstanding  performance  for  a  sophomore.  I 
hope  she  can  surpass  that,"  Wittenhagen  said. 

Other  highlights  from  last  season  include  Sue 
Madden's  third  place  finish  in  the  600-yard  run 
(she  just  missed  qualifying  for  the  ECACs), 
while  teammates  Cheryl  Vedder  and  Heather 
Bacon  had  the  school  record  for  the  high  jump 
at  5'5".  Hollie  Lopes  also  had  the  meet  record 
in  the  long  jump  with  a  leap  of  17'. 

With   a   little   luck   and   no   injuries,   Wit- 
tenhagen hopes  co-captains  Millane  and  Vedder 
will  lead  his  team  to  greater  success  in  local  and 
regional  competition  this  year.  ■

Men's  Swimming  and  Diving 


Here  to  stay 

The  men's  swimming  team,  led  by  tri-captains  Joe 
Bergin,  John  Blaum,  and  John  White,  has  their  work  cut 
out  for  them  in  1987  with  last  year's  9-3  record  to 
uphold.  But,  head  coach  Janet  Swanson  isn't  the  least  bit 
concerned,  despite  losing  eight  swimmers  to  graduation. 

"I  think  we  have  grown  in  numbers  in  the  last  five 
years,"  Swanson  said.  "People  have  come  to  realize  that 
the  swimming  program  is  here  to  stay." 

With  both  the  men's  and  women's  programs  to  run, 
Swanson  relies  heavily  on  assistant  coach  Meegan 
Primavera  and  diving  coach  Joe  Chirico  to  get  the  work 
done. 

"The  swimmers  get  a  good  education  here  at  North- 
eastern and  swim  on  a  Division  1  team  that  is  growing 
stronger  each  year,"  Swanson  said,  who  seems  to  feel  the 
school  has  attracted  better  quality  swimmers  every  year. 

Last  year's  squad  placed  ninth  in  the  New  England 
Championships  where  several  school  records  were  set. 

Last  year's  New  England  Champion  in  the  100-and 
200-meter  breaststroke  is  junior  Paul  Wilson,  who  also 
finished  in  the  top  20  at  the  Junior  National  Champion- 
ships in  Orlando,  Florida.  Another  swimmer  to  look  out 
for  is  senior  freestyler  Jeff  Morrison,  who  finished  10th  in 
the  400-Individual  Medley  last  year  to  break  a  school 
record  with  a  time  of  4:20.42. 

Overall,  the  team  has  a  tough  schedule  to  contend 
with.  It  will  face  stiff  competition  from  UConn,  UMass, 
BC  and  Maine,  who  was  just  added  to  the  schedule  this 
year. 

Dave  Keller  will  be  the  lone  upperclassman  on  the  div- 
ing team,  but  four  freshmen  should  add  great  depth  to 
this  year's  squad. 

Joe   Chirico,   the   new  diving   coach,   is  certainly   no 
stranger  to  New  England  diving.   He  has  coached  the 
Boston  Area  Diving  Club,  a  US  Diving  Club,  to  six 
straight  New  England  Diving  Championships.  ■

Head  coach  Janet  Swanson  feels  her  women's 
swimming  program  has  made  monumental 
leaps  in  the  past  five  years. 

"We  were  struggling  five  years  ago  to  get  the 
program  off  the  ground,"  admits  Swanson. 
"But  now  we  are  able  to  bring  in  high  caliber 
swimmers  to  help  build  the  team." 

The  1985-86  season  was  a  great  one  for  the 
team.  They  finished  second  in  the  New 
England's,  placed  in  the  top  10  at  the  ECACs, 
and  had  an  overall  8-2  record  against  a  relatively 
new  Division  1  schedule. 

The  team  moved  into  Division  1  in  1982 
when  the  NCAA  took  over  the  AIAW,  which 
also  moved  them  into  Division  1  in  New 
England.  The  move  meant  tougher  competition 
and  less  glamorous  finishes  for  the  women. 

"It  was  tough  on  the  women  because  they 
were  swimming  just  as  hard  but  finishing  third 
or  fourth  instead  of  first,"  said  Swanson.  But 
the  head  coach  feels  the  competition  is  good  for 
the  women  and  as  a  result,  have  built 
themselves  into  stronger  swimmers  with  more 
exposure  due  to  the  Division  1  status. 

Tri-captains  Cindy  Johnson,  Donna 
Jungbluth  and  Linda  Porter  will  lead  the 
1986-1987  team  into  what  they  hope  will  result 
in  a  New  England  Championship. 

Kathy  Deignan,  New  England  champion  in 
the  200,  500,  and  1650  meter  freestyle  events, 
along  with  Johnson  and  Christine  DeSimone 
will  lead  the  freestyle  distance  events. 

Colleen  Sullivan,  Porter,  Michelle  Kennedy 
and  Karin  Salisbury  will  prove  to  be  the  powers 
in  the  backstroke  events.  The  leaders  in  the 
breaststroke  events  will  be  Denise  Neibel, 
Jungbluth,  Kellie  Karavites  and  Porter. 

A  total  of  10  women  qualified  to  swim  in  the 
individual  medley  at  last  year's  championships. 

Sophomore  Michelle  White,  Northeastern's 
first  NCAA  Division  1  national  qualifier,  will 
lead  six  women  in  the  diving  events.  New 
England  finalist  Vivian  Toamine  will  be  joined 
on  the  boards  by  the  return  of  injured  Chris 
Baribeau  and  freshman  diver  Paula  Sam- 
kowski.  ■

Women's  Gymnastics 


A  Balanced  Act 

The  way  women's  gymnastics  coach  Holly 
Szabo  sees  things,  this  year's  team  is  one  of  her 
largest,  strongest  and  most  talented. 

With  nine  returning  competitors,  as  well  as 
five  freshmen  and  two  new  upperclassmen,  the 
potential  is  there  for  these  NU  gymnasts  (who 
were  12-3  last  year)  to  tumble  their  way  to 
victory. 

"You  could  say  it's  a  building  year  for  us 
with  so  many  new  members  on  the  squad,"  said 
Szabo,  who  has  been  coaching  the  team  for 
seven  years.  "But  as  far  as  talent  and  potential, 
everyone  seems  to  have  it.  For  some  you  see  it, 
for  others  it's  hidden  —  but  it's  definitely 
there." 

Two  of  these  talented  gymnasts  are  captains 
Kim  Mullaney  and  Susie  Nyberg.  Mullaney,  in 
her  fifth  year  with  the  team  is  the  only  senior. 
Nyberg,  a  middler,  was  a  strong  contributor  in 
her  first  two  seasons  with  the  Huskies  and 
should  add  leadership  to  the  team. 

"We  do  have  a  lot  of  talent  this  year  and  the 
potential  to  do  well,"  said  Mullaney,  a 
Brookline  native.  "We're  also  a  really  close  team 
this  year  and  I  think  that  will  make  a  big 
difference." 

While  last  year's  top  scoring  seniors 
Stephanie  Richard  and  Sharon  Mahler  will  be 
missed,  according  to  Szabo,  Mullaney  should 
make  a  big  difference  this  season. 

"Kim  will  be  one  of  our  strong  points  this 
year.  She's  really  ready  for  the  season  and  should 
be  a  leading  scorer,"  said  Szabo,  adding,  "I 
don't  really  see  us  moving  up  in  the  rankings, 
but  pretty  much  maintaining  our  eleventh  place 
in  the  Northeast. 

"The  change  I've  seen  in  gymnastics  over  the 
years  is  phenomenal  and  the  ability  the  team 
has  this  year  is  great.  But  rules  change  to  reflect 
ability,  so  while  we're  improving  it  looks  like 
we've  maintained,"  Szabo  said.  —  Deb  Nyberg

Despite  the  large  number  of  students

Civil  Engineering  students  looking  for 
an  organization  to  join,  should  look  to  the 
Northeastern  University  American  Socie- 
ty of  Civil  Engineers  (ASCE)  Student 
Chapter. 

The  chapter's  goals  are  dedication  to 
academics,  promoting  professionalism  in 
civil  engineering,  and  providing  a  service 
for  society. 

The  chapter  hosts  a  variety  of  ac- 
tivities, including  a  weekly  lecture  series 
that  is  presented  by  leading  professionals. 
Field  trips  and  social  functions  are  also 
sponsored  by  ASCE. 

The  chapter  believes  that  undertaking 
community  service  projects  meets  their 
goals  and  objectives.  Through  these  pro- 
jects, that  are  worked  on  from  the  concep- 
tion phase  to  construction,  allow  the 
students  to  develop  skills  outside  of  class 

Projects  accredited  to 
ASCE,  that  were  designed 
constructed  by  the  group,  are  as  follows 
The  Boston  Center  for  Blind  Children;  an  s 
activity  area  for  children  at  the  Joseph  P.  a 
Kennedy  Memorial  Hospital;  a  play  ^ 
therapy  facility  for  the  Boston  Children 
Service  Association;  a  children's  group 
therapy  facility  for  the  Brookline  Mental 
Health  Center;  and  last  year  they  design- 
ed an  educational  exhibit  for  the  Boston 
Museum  of  Science,  that  highlights  the 
role  of  civil  engineering  in  building 
construction. 

One  special  attribute  of  this  organiza- 
tion is  that  their  involvement  in  various 
community  service  projects  is  completely 
voluntary,  and  academic  credit  is  not 
received. 

The  1986  project  is  the  construction  of 
an  outdoor  recreational  area  for  the 
Daniel  Marr  Boys  and  Girls  Club.  The 
entire  community  of  Dorchester  will 
benefit  from  this,  as  well  as  the  members 
of  the  club. 

Founded  in  1940,  the  ASCE  has  a  cur- 
rent membership  of  over  200  civil 
engineering  students.  To  become  a 
member  of  a  chapter  that  was  chosen  as 
the  single  most  outstanding  chapter  seven 
times  since  1977,  go  to  the  fourth  floor  of 

the    Snell    building. 

Freshman  year 
membership  is  free, 
and  starting  soph- 
omore year  it  is  $2. 
Dues     increase     one  I 

dollar  each  year.  £;

The  goals  of  the  Delta 
Sigma  Theta  sorority,  are  to 
reach  out  to  the  community, 
stress  social  welfare,  academic 
excellence,  cultural  enrich- 
ment, and  improve  the  lives  of 
others  in  any  way  possible. 

Founded  on  January  13, 
1913,  the  Alpha  Chapter  of 
Delta  Sigma  Theta  was  form- 
ed on  the  Howard  University 
campus  in  Washington,  DC. 

As  an  organization,  Delta 
Sigma  Theta  has  traditionally 
addressed  the  issues  of  the 
time.  In  the  1980s,  a  center 
in  Atlanta,  Geotgia  was 
established  to  support  the 
families  of  those  children  who 
were    brutally    murdered.    In 

1982,  this  group  marched  in 
support  of  making  the  birth- 
day of  Martin  Luther  King, 
Jr.     a     national    holiday.     In 

1983,  a  program  featuring 
teenage  pregnancy  was  in- 
troduced as  "Summit  II." 
This  year,  the  "Summit  II" 
program  is  continued  by 
focusing  on  battered  women. 

Another  event  of  interest 
sponsored  by  this  sorority,  is 
Black  Organization's  Day. 
This  provides  an  opportunity 
for  freshmen  and  transfer 
students  to  see  what  organiza- 
tions for  blacks  exist  on  cam- 
pus. Since  the  sorority  was 
founded,  Delta  Sigma  Theta 
has  received  many  awards. 
These  include  the  1983 
Outstanding  Freshman 
Award,  "Who's  Who  Among 
College  Students,"  the  Scarlet 
Key  Award,  Trustee  Scholar 
Award,  the  National  Merit 
Award,  and  Career  Expo 
Scholarship.  In  1986,  they 
were  honored  with  the  Nguza 
Saba  Award,  Fine  Arts 
Award,  second  place  in  the 
Minority  Student  Affairs 
Oratory  Competition,  and  the 
Black  Alumni  Association 
Award.

International  Student  Forum  \ 


*m 


The  International  Student  Forum,  known  as  ISF,  provides  an  opportunity 
to  bridge  the  gap  between  international  and  American  students.  ISF  also 
helps  international  students  adjust  to  university  life.  One  of  ISF's  goals  is  to 
sponsor  activities  that  give  the  international  students  a  chance  to  express  their 
own  culture  and  talents,  while  learning  about  others.  These  activities  are 
non-political,  and  the  organization  functions  as  a  group  where  the  students 
can  go  for  assistance  and  meet  new  people. 

During  orientation  week,  ISF  kicked-off  the  year  with  a  reception  on  Oc- 
tober 2nd  to  welcome  all  foreign  students.  A  potluck  dinner  was  held  on 
November  21st  for  the  Thanksgiving  holiday.  Students  enjoyed  the 
American  tradition  by  preparing  food  from  their  native  land,  and  then  in- 
dulging in  the  feast.  For  international  students,  Christmas  means  more  ex- 
posure to  another  United  States  tradition,  by  going  out  for  evenings  of 
caroling. 

Their  biggest  event  is  the  annual  International  Week  that  is  held  in  May. 
Highlights  for  this  function  include  a  mini-bazaar,  an  international  fashion 
show,  an  evening  variety  show,  lectures,  films,  and  cultural  exhibits.

The  Northeastern  Fencing  Club 
provides  students  with  an  express- 
ed interest  in  fencing  to  learn  the 
sport  for  recreational  purposes.  The 
club  also  provides  ample  oppor- 
tunities for  students  who  wish  to 
compete.  This  past  June,  the  club 
sent  eight  students  to  the  Bay  State 
Games  to  represent  Northeastern 
University.  Three  students  went  on 
to  the  final  rounds  of  the 
competition. 

All  of  the  equipment  needed  to 
fence  with  the  club  is  provided  by- 
Northeastern.  The  student  only 
needs  a  good  pair  of  tennis  or 
similar  shoes,  a  pair  of  sweat  pants, 
and  a  t-shirt.  Instruction  is  free  to 
all  members,  and  is  taught  by 
other  members  of  the  club. 

Club  meetings  usually  include 
drills  and  open  fencing.  Inex- 
perienced students  will  be  bouting 
with  one  another  within  four  or 
five  meetings.  There  are  also  op- 
portunities to  take  formal  fencing 
instruction  in  the  area,  and  the 
club  makes  trips  to  the  Watertown 
Academy  of  Fencing,  to  fence 
against  other  and  better  opponents.

On  8  Sunset  Street  in 
Boston,  you  can  find  one  of  the 
most  distinguished  fraternities 
around.  Alpha  Epsilon  Pi,  is  a 
Greek  social  organization  that 
encourages  its  members  to  feel 
and  act  as  individuals,  and  not 
only  as  a  small  part  in  the  big 
academic  or  social  machine. 
Each  brother  is  considered  as  a 
distinct  personality  with  hopes, 
dreams,  and  aspirations. 

Alpha  Epsilon  Pi  was  found- 
ed on  November  7,  1913  at 
New  York  University.  In 
March  of  1921,  the  first 
Northeastern  chapter  was 
started,  but  disbanded  when 
brothers  entered  the  service  dur- 
ing World  War  II  to  help  their 
country.  On  June  3,  1962,  the 
Sigma  Kappa  Psi  chapter 
started  up  at  Northeastern,  and 
has  continually  improved  and 
grown  to  where  it  is  today. 

The  30  members  of  Alpha 
Epsilon  Pi  have  obtained 
numerous  awards  and  honors, 
but  the  most  important  to  them 
is   being   recognized   as   having 


received  the  highest  scholastic 
grade  point  average  for  frater- 
nities on  campus  since  1982. 
They  were  also  winners  of  the 
1986  Interfraternity  Council's 
(IFC)  Basketball 
Championship. 

Many  fun  events  sponsored 
by  A  E  Pi  have  become  tradi- 
tions over  the  years.  These 
events  include  the  Spring  For- 
mal and  Awards  Dinner,  the 
Midori  Melon  Ball  Bash,  a 
Halloween  party,  Homecoming 
Float  building,  Booze  Cruises,  a 
party  at  9  Landsdowne  Street, 
and  mixed  happy  hours  with 
the  Jewish  students'  organiza- 
tion, Hillel. 

Alpha  Espilon  Pi  would  like 
to  extend  the  following  seniors 
congratulations  on  sharing  the 
enjoyment  of  traternalism:  Eric 
Arnold,  Mark  Berns,  Steven 
Mikels,  David  Palen,  Mario 
Prevost,  and  Larry  Rubin.

If  you're  looking  for  fun,  take  a  trip  to  the 
Phi  Gamma  Pi  fraternity  on  241  Kent  Street

Housed  in  their  own  Victorian  mansion, 
PGP  provides  a  brotherly  organization  under 
one  roof.  Their  purpose  is  to  help  one 
another  while  attending  the  university. 

Since  1982,  they  have  won  the  "All 
Sports  Award,"  and  earned  other  various 
sports  and  homecoming  awards.  This  year, 
Dominic  Gulli  was  named  "Fraternity  Man 
of  the  Year." 

Established  in  1924,  Phi  Gamma  Pi 
moved  to  its  current  location  in  1953.  This 
fraternity  participates  in  other  various  groups 
on  and  off  campus.  The  scholastic 
achievements  of  Phi  Gamma  Pi  has  given 
them  a  distinguished  reputation.

Hillel  is  an  organization  that  serves  the

Intramurals  is  a  growing  trend  within 
the  university  for  students,  faculty  and 
staff.  Be  it  of  a  competitive  nature,  such 
as  raquetball  or  structured  drop-in  activi- 
ty such  as  aerobics,  the  involvement  has 
increased  about  five  times  since  its  start 
in  1975. 

The  student-run  activities  range  from 
basketball  to  water  polo,  and  are  open  to 
all  students  year  round. 

Aerobics  costs  five  dollars  a  quarter 
with  20  classes  a  week  and  has  become 
the  most  popular.  In  the  Cabot  or 
Dockser  Gym,  aerobicizers  are  spurred  on 
by  the  loud  music  and  the  energetic  stu- 
dent instructor. 

For  many  students,  intramurals  pro- 
vides an  outlet  for  stress  inherent  to  col- 
lege life,  yet  it  does  not  demand  the  time 
or  the  pressure  of  a  varsity  sport.  It  is  a 
great  chance  to  exercise  and  to  meet  other 
students. 

Why  somebody  would  want  to  go  to 
Matthews  Arena  at  1 1  p.m.  on  a  weekday 
night  to  play  Broomball,  is  a  good  ques- 
tion that  even  the  Intramurals  Director 
Gene  Grzywna  can't  answer;  "I  don't 
know  ...  I'd  rather  be  home  sleeping.''

The  Disabled  Student  Organiza- 
tion of  Northeastern  University 
was  founded  in  1977  via  a  joint  ef- 
fort by  both  disabled  and  able 
bodied  individuals  who  shared  and 
acted  upon  a  common  concern  for 
"equal"  education  for  all  students. 
("Equal"  meaning  that  a  student 
with  any  disability  should  and  will 
enjoy  an  equal  opportunity  to 
educationally  benefit  from  an  in- 
stitution of  higher  education). 
D.S.O.N.U.  works  closely  with  the 
Office  of  Service  for  the  Handicap- 
ped (OSH)  to  achieve  their  goals, 
which  include  breaking  down 
physical  and  attitudinal  barriers. 

This  organization  also  plans 
social  events  like  ski  trips,  picnics, 
and  many  other  recreational  ac- 
tivities. This  gives  members  a 
chance  to  meet  new  friends  and 
discuss  problems  they  may  be 
facing.

Fifty-one  years  ago,  the  ROTC  sponsored  the  first  Northeastern  dance 
band,  which  has  grown  to  include  the  Concert  Band,  Jazz  Ensemble, 
Chamber  Winds  and  Pep  Band. 

Recruiting  starts  at  the  high  school  level;  each  spring  the  band  director 
goes  through  the  records  of  incoming  freshmen  to  see  who  participated  in

Delta  Phi  Epsilon  is  a  sorority 
that  promotes  sisterhood,  social 
services  and  raises  money  for  na- 
tional philanthropies. 

Within  the  past  five  years,  Delta 
Phi  Epsilon  raised  the  most  money 
for  cystic  fibrosis,  and  won  an 
award  for  service  at  many  Red 
Cross  blood  drives.  Other  honors 
include  the  National  Sororities 
President  Award,  second  and  third 
place  for  the  Homecoming  Float 
Contest,  and  scholarship  awards. 
Another  feather  in  their  cap  was  a 
national  award  for  most  improve- 
ment in  the  chapter.  With  a 
membership  increase  to  22,  D  Phi 
E  has  continued  to  sweep  up  more 
awards  such  as  the  Greek  Variety 
Night  Award,  and  the  North- 
eastern University  Intersorority 
Council  Award  for  two  consecutive 
years. 

It  isn't  surprising  that  one  of  the 
sisters  was  named  "Who's  Who

Stomping  Out  Racism  —  Administratively 


It's  easy  to  see  that  there  are  lots  and  lots  of 
people  at  Northeastern.  Although,  that  doesn't 
necessarilly  prevent  feelings  of  loneliness  or  in- 
security, especially  if  you're  a  target  of  racism. 
For  such  students,  with  no  identifiable  place  to 
go,  June  Chase-Dillon,  assistant  dean  of  ad- 
ministration, has  given  support  in  her  very  per- 
sonal way  and  through  two  programs  that  she 
oversees  at  NU;  The  Presidential  Lecture  Series 
(PLS),  and  the  Society  Organized  Against 
Racism  (SOAR). 

Northeastern  is  not  unique,  we  have  the 
same  problems  as  any  other  school.  We  are 
unique,  however,  because  we  are  doing 
something  constructive  to  combat  it  (racism)," 
said  Chase-Dillon.  PLS  and  SOAR  are  part  of  a 
broader  campaign  aimed  at  increasingly  minori- 
ty retention  and  the  number  of  black  faculty 
members,  she  said. 

Since  1977  there  has  been  a  national  decline 
in  the  number  of  black  teachers  an  black 
graduate  students,  said  Chase-Dillon.  Accord- 
ing to  her,  the  reasons  are;  uninviting  at- 
mospheres within  predominately  white  schools, 
the  Reagan  Administration's  cutbacks  in  finan- 
cial assistance  and  the  decline  of  federal  pressure 
for  Affirmative  Action. 

NU  is  above  the  national  average  in  respect 
to  the  number  of  black  faculty  members, 
however,  the  administration  plans  to  increase 
that  number  by  50  percent  by  1987,  she  said. 
Currently,  only  two  percent,  or  18,  of  the 
University's  843  full-time  faculty  members  are 
black. 


The  PLS,  by  inviting  prominent  black 
scholars  and  lecturers  to  campus  is  intended  to 
provide  black  role  models  to  students  on  the 
predominately  white  campus,  she  said.  Former 
Congress  woman,  Shirley  Chisholm,  PLS's  first 
speaker  (January  of  1986),  urged  students  to 
continue  their  education. 

"As  a  direct  result  of  this  NU  has  hired  one 
black  faculty  member  in  the  college  of 
business,"  said  Chase-Dillon.  "As  further  proof 
of  the  commitment,  President  Ryder  has 
allocated  $50,000  for  the  PLS  in  1986  alone," 
she  added. 

"Administration  at  the  highest  levels  and 
faculty  are  willing  to  help,"  said  Chase-Dillon, 
"they  aren't  just  doing  it,  they're  doing  it 
because  it  is  morally  right." 

However,  Chase-Dillon  points  out  that  most 
of  the  racial  problems  occur  in  the  classrooms 
and  around  campus.  SOAR  has  a  chapter  on 
campus  that  was  introduced  in  1983.  Chase- 
Dillon  serves  as  Clerk  for  SOAR's  consortium  of 
local  colleges  and  universities  which  is  dedicated 
to  combating  racism  through  exposure  to  dif- 
ferences and  mutual  workshops,  she  said.  Ac- 
cording to  Chase-Dillon  the  program  will  bring 
in  speakers  to  discuss  a  variety  of  issues,  in- 
cluding racism,  prejudice  and  discrimination. 
This  year,  she  said,  there  will  be  an  effort  to  get 
general  consciousness  raising  workshops  going 
throughout  the  entire  campus. 

Committed  to  helping  those  pressured  by 
racism,  she  leaves  her  door  open  to  students  by 
lending  an  ear  or  "cutting  through  the  red  tape 


for  those  blown  away  by  the  bureaucracy,"  she 
said. 

She  is  also  Administrative  Secretary  of  the 
Office  of  Sponsored  Research,  which  makes  her 
a  liaison  between  NU  and  the  community. 
"We're  not  just  a  sleeping  giant  here,  we  give 
something  back  to  the  community,"  she  said. 

Chase-Dillon,  at  NU  for  17  years,  plans  to 
retire  in  1988,  but  may  stay  on  part  time.  She 
said  her  work  is  stressful,  yet  gratifying.  "I'm 
doing  a  needed  service  and  once  you're  ap- 
preciated, it's  alright.  I've  grown  and  learned 
new  skills  and  I've  been  awarded  for  it."  For  the 
students  that  so  frequently  call  on  her  to  talk, 
she  offers  some  optimism;  "it  can  happen,  it 
happened  to  me."  B

Bugle  Boy  excels 


The  first  student  to  ever  receive  an  Ell 
Presidential  Scholarship  from  Northeastern  is 
graduating,  and  Peter  Wick  hasn't  let  anyone 
down  with  his  3.87  g.p.a.  in  Pharmacy.  The 
amazing  thing  about  Peter,  however,  is  that  he 
has  juggled  an  array  of  activities  as  well. 

Finding  solace  in  his  trumpet  playing  for  the 
NU  Band  four  nights  a  week  and  at  sports 
events,  he  also  tutors  fellow  students  and 
belongs  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  and  Alpha  Zeta  Omega. 

Since  third  grade  he's  been  playing  the 
trumpet  and  in  college  has  been  involved  with 
bands  outside  of  NU.  He  and  his  band  "The 
Bag  Boys"  won  the  NU  Talent  show  last  year 
and  one  night  a  week  he  practices  singing  and 
playing  with  a  group  of  "really  good"  musicians 
that  appear  at  Saint  Ann's  Sunday  mass  on  St. 
Stephens  Street,  which  services  22  local  colleges. 

Taking  pride  in  the  NU  Band,  he  is  only 


sorry  that  more  people  don't  come  to  listen  or 
don't  attend  the  sports  events.  Enthusiastically, 
he  recalled  NU's  five  to  four  win  in  over-time 
against  Harvard  in  the  1986  Beanpot.  "I  got  so 
excited  that  I  hugged  the  guy  next  to  me,"  he 
said,  "I  live  for  that  kind  of  stuff.  Too  bad  more 
people  don't  come  to  the  games  and  appreciate 
that  part  of  college  life. 

Paying  the  other  half  of  his  tuition  that's  not 
picked  up  by  the  scholarship,  he  said,  "I'm  real- 
ly glad  NU  gave  me  a  chance,  and  I  don't  think 
that  I've  let  them  down,  at  all." 

He  discovered  through  co-op  that  he  doesn't 
want  to  be  a  pharmacist.  "I  felt  I  couldn't  cut  it 
as  a  pharmacist.  I  have  a  lot  of  respect  for  people 
who  can." 

In  middler  year  he  got  a  chance  to  try 
research,  which  he  preferred.  "Dr.  Richard 
Deth  put  me  on  a  project  to  study  how  blood 
vessels  contract,"  he  said.  The  results  of  that 


study  will  be  published  in  spring  of  1987. 

In  the  fall  of  1985  he  went  to  West  Virginia 
University  to  participate  in  a  University 
Graduate  Research  Seminar  where  he  gave  a 
talk.  He  also  spoke  before  Dr.s  and  Ph.D.s  at 
the  Federal  American  Societies  for  Experimental 
Biology  Convention  in  St.  Louis  last  year  and 
again  at  Scholar's  Day  at  NU. 

Although  he  admitted  to  being  "really 
afraid"  at  first,  he  said,  "I  got  into  doing  this 
and  I  got  to  love  it.  For  once  in  my  life  I  found 
something  I'm  really  good  at." 

When  does  he  study?  Peter  said  that  he  learns 
while  in  class  and  doesn't  have  to  refer  to  his 
notes  much  after  that. 

He  asked  that  we  remember  his  Rho  Cask 
friends  that  study  the  effects  of  alcohol  on  occas- 
sion,  or  as  Peter  observed,  "while  tolerance  for 
alcohol  goes  up,  g.p.a.  goes  down." 

Eventually,  he  said  he'd  like  to  be  a  teacher. 
But,  come  September  of  1987,  he'll  be  shooting 
for  a  Ph. D  in  Pharmacology  at  the  University  of 
Michigan.  H

Fitness  as  a  Career  choice 


Yeah,  sure  .  .  .  everyone  takes  aerobic 
classes,  runs  a  few  miles  a  day  and  works 
out  on  the  nautilus  machines,  but  not 
everyone  does  it  because  it's  something 
they  enjoy.  However,  Jennifer 
Wheelden,  a  senior,  felt  so  impassioned 
by  a  life  full  of  exercise  that  she  com- 
bined two  of  her  greatest  interests,  sports 
and  psychology,  to  create  her  own  major 
sports  psychology. 

Jennifer  said  that  many  students  go 
through  four  or  five  years  of  college 
without  ever  taking  up  what  really  in- 
terests them,  they  just  follow  the  pro- 
gram. "A  lot  of  kids  come  to  school  and 
say,  'I  really  meant  to  this  .  .  .',  but 
don't  really  follow  up  on  it,"  she  said. 

As  a  declared  psychology  major  she 
was  forced  to  choose  a  concentration  in 
sophomore  year  but  she  said  that  she 
didn't  want  to  pick  from  any  of  the 
given  choices. 

After  taking  "millions"  of  aerobic 
classes  at  NU,  she  decided  to  try 
teaching  some.  So,  in  November  of 
1984,  after  taking  the  necessary  tests, 
she  became  an  instructor  and  eventually 
assistant  director  of  the  program. 


As  aerobic  instructor,  Jennifer  had  to 
design  her  own  programs  and  put 
together  a  tape,  keeping  in  mind  tempo 
and  choreography.  "I  started  reading 
books,  I  read  everything,"  she  said,  "to 
find  information  on  a  program."  Taking 
suggestions  from  students,  she  tried  to 
make  the  classes  more  fun. 

"I  had  the  psychology  and  I  had  the 
aerobics,  but  I  never  had  anything  that 
tied  them  together,"  she  said,  until  she 
began  working  in  the  intramurals  office 
at  the  end  of  her  sophomore  year.  "I 
hea^d  about  sports  psychology,"  she 
said,  "and  thought,  'this  could  be  it'." 

Although  she'll  receive  a  diploma  in 
psychology,  she  will  have  taken  all  the 
appropriate  health,  sports  and  leisure 
classes,  gained  enough  experience 
through  co-op,  and  being  an  aerobics  in- 
structor to  put  her  on  her  desired  path. 
Make  no  mistakes  though,  "it  was  a  lot 
of  work  putting  your  own  major 
together,"  she  said,  especially  at  a  school 
this  large.  Thanks  to  the  advice  of  a  few 
NU  professors,  she  took  the  right 
courses. 

Jennifer,  who  said  that  she  is  really  in- 


to running  and  lifting  weights,  was  very 
active  in  her  high  school  field  hockey  and 
track  teams  in  "I  was  always  very  in- 
terested in  sports,"  she  said,  "It's  a  big 
part  of  my  life." 

This  latest  fitness  craze,  she  said,  has 
many  people  obsessed  with  exercise,  for 
perhaps  the  wrong  reasons.  "I  never 
heard  anyone  say  that  I  want  to  lower 
my  resting  heart  rate,  though  that's  a 
benefit  of  aerobics,"  she  said,  adding 
that  this  is  the  type  of  information  she 
asks  aerobic  instructors  to  stress. 

"Most  people  aren't  doing  it  because 
it  makes  them  feel  good,  but  because 
they  have  to,"  she  said.  An  area  that  she 
plans  to  study  in  the  future  is  the  connec- 
tion of  fitness  obsession  to  anorexia  and 
bolemia. 

She  has  applied  for  graduate  pro- 
grams in  sports  psychology  and  athletic 
training.  "The  field  is  very  new,"  she 
said,  "there  are  a  number  of  options." 
Ultimately,  she  said  that  she  would  like 
to  open  a  consulting  business  for  teams 
and  corporations,  continue  research  and 
"maybe   have   a   fitness   center   on   the 

side."  ■  _,     ,  ,

The  same  old  runaround 


As  universities  go,  Northeastern  is  one  of  the 
most  ingeniously  designed.  The  basic  pattern  is 
elliptical,  which  blends  well  with  the  university 
motto  "Whatus  Goeth  Around  Cometh  us 
Aroundus."  The  format  for  the  university  is  also 
drawn  from  real-life:  the  obstacle  course. 

There  are  plenty  of  difficult  obstacles.  So  let's 
start  at  the  Bursar's  Office  with  contestants  be- 
ing forced  to  leap  over  a  financial  block.  Since 
the  block  gets  higher  the  longer  it  remains  in 
place,  this  is  a  tough  starter. 

If  the  block  is  scaled,  the  students  have  to 
spring  around  the  corner  to  the  Financial  Aid 
office.  After  filling  out  the  required  three  reams 
of  forms,  the  successful  applicants  will  be  al- 
lowed to  move  on  the  next  step.  To  make  things 
interesting,  approximately  half  of  the  successful 
applicants  will  be  contacted  later  in  the  race  and 
told  their  approved  loans  have  been  revoked. 
They  will  have  to  immediately  return  to  the 
Bursar's  Office  to  clear  up  the  resulting  financial 
blocks.  They  will  not  pass  go.  They  will  not  col- 
lect $200. 

At  this  point  in  the  race,  half  the  remaining 
contestants  will  then  learn  that  a  computer 
glitch  has  erased  their  registration  records  and 
they   will   have    to   enter    the   drop-add    zone, 


which  entails  several  grotesque  horrors  that 
decency  prevents  me  from  printing. 

Those  who  avoid  the  drop-add  zone  will  race 
through  the  underground  tunnels  to  the  library. 
Their  task  will  be  to  find  at  least  one  book  that 
is  in  some  way  related  to  any  one  of  the  1,076 
randomly  selected  term  paper  topics.  Failing 
that,  they  can  proceed  to  the  next  obstacle  by 
finding  a  book  on  the  stacks  that  was  published 
in  the  last  40  years.  That  is  considered  the 
harder  of  the  two  obstacles. 

At  some  undetermined  point  in  the  race, 
students  will  be  contacted  by  the  Bursar's  Office 
and  told  that  their  library  book  is  overdue.  This 
will  happen  whether  or  not  the  book  has  been 
returned.  It  is  up  to  the  individual  student  to 
escape  this  bottomless  pit. 

The  next  stop  is  the  famed  History  Central, 
located  somewhere  downwind  of  the  animal 
cages  in  Mugar.  Students  will  then  be  asked  to 
audit  three  audiovisual  lectures  and  answer  the 
questions  at  the  end  of  two  discussion  packets. 
If  the  student  is  successful  in  this  pursuit  the 
next  step  is  a  colloquium  in  which  a  teacher- 
tron  will  pose  a  sequence  of  rhetorical  questions 
about  the  childhoods  of  Karl  Marx  and  John 
Lenin. 


At  this  stage,  half  of  the  students  will  be 
asleep.  The  rest  will  hot  foot  it  over  Huntington 
to  the  Lane  Health  Center.  The  task  will  be  to 
convince  the  receptionist  that  you  are  indeed 
sick.  Bleeding  will  be  allowed  as  long  as  the 
blood  is  real  and  the  wound  is  not  too  obviously 
self-inflicted. 

Successful  in-patients  will  then  scramble  to 
the  economics  department  where  the  sole  test 
will  be  to  pass  an  exam  based  on  information 
provided  by  non-English  speaking  instructors 
and  re-presented  by  non-English  speaking 
teaching  assistants. 

The  next  venue  is  the  bookstore.  Students 
still  in  the  hunt  will  be  asked  to  find  a  textbook 
for  under  $20.  Then  they  will  have  to  go  find 
something  of  real  value  that  has  the  NU  logo  on 
it.  This  is  much  harder  than  it  seems. 

In  the  interest  of  realism,  the  next  impedi- 
ment is  the  Bursar's  Office.  That  completes  the 
elliptical  nature  of  the  course,  which  is  also  an 
endurance  race  because  it  takes  five  years  to 
complete.  Good  luck  and  may  the  most 
masochistic  win.  ■

Making  Changes 


In  our  five  years  at  Northeastern,  there's  been 
a  great  deal  of  change  —  cosmetically  and 
organizationally.  One  of  the  major  cogs  that  not 
only  keeps  this  transformation  moving,  but 
flourishing,  as  well  is  Phyllis  Schaen.  She  has 
worked  herself  up  through  many  levels  to 
become  the  first  woman  dean  of  administration. 

Under  this  title  she  oversees  the  Registrar's 
Office,  administrative  computer  services,  hous- 
ing, administrative  budget  management  and 
several  staff  members  as  well.  "It  is  difficult, 
but  never  boring  .  .  .  it's  a  people  oriented  job," 
said  Schaen,  who  has  worked  at  NU  for  17 
years. 

She  describes  her  work  as  policy  making  and 
problem  solving  on  an  admii  :strative  level.  It's 
up  to  her  to  house  people  at  Emmanuel  College 
(as  in  1986)  if  there  is  a  shortage  of  housing  on 
campus.  It's  up  to  her  to  shorten  orientation  if 
many  people  feel  that  it  is  too  long.  Her  efforts 
have  direct  effects  on  NU's  appeal  to  students 
and  workers. 

"NU's  image  has  improved  very  much. 
We're  not  Harvard,  but  we  don't  want  to  be. 
They're  good  at  what  they  do  and  we're  ex- 
tremely good  at  what  we  Jo,"  says  Schaen.  She 
stressed  how  concerned  the  present  administra- 
tion is  with  image. 

"Strategic  Planning,"  said  Schaen,  is  a  team

effort  approach  that  involves  adapting  departments  as  best  as  possible  to 
meet  expected  changes  in  the  future. 

Presently,  the  biggest  objective  is  student  retention.  "Lots  of  univer- 
sities are  focusing  on  retention  efforts,"  she  said,  because  the  population 
of  18-year-old  students  is  expected  to  drop  significantly.  One  example  of 
efforts  to  achieve  retention  is  the  simplifying  of  registration,  she  said. 

Registration  lines  were  a  big  complaint  among  students,  but  with  the 
new  system,  she  said  that  she  knows  the  students  are  satisfied.  "No  one 
comes  up  to  me  and  says,  "Gee,  what  a  great  registration!",  but  then 
there  aren't  nearly  as  many  complaints,"  she  added. 

She  also  looks  at  programs  that  through  the  years  become  less  critical 
and  then  either  shrinks  them  or  dissolves  them.  "I'm  a  penny-pincher," 
said  Schaen,  "I  was  once  told  to  treat  your  budget  like  your  personal 
checkbook." 

Involved  with  various  committees,  such  as  the  operations  committee, 
she  is  interested  in  getting  other  administrators  to  deal  with  students 
directly  and  for  them  to  react  to  student's  complaints. 

With  a  B.S.  in  communications  from  Boston  University  and  a  doc- 
torate and  Master's  in  education  from  NU,  she  does  guest  lecturing  and 
seminar  teaching.  However,  she  prefers  residing  in  an  administrative  posi- 
tion versus  that  of  a  teacher.  Most  importantly  perhaps,  she  said  is  being 
in  an  educational  atmosphere  rather  than  working  for  an  industry  whose 
products  are  just  that  —  products.  "Here  our  products  are  people,"  said 
Schaen.  ■

Not  just  another  news  bimbo 


In  every  college  and  every  major  there  are 
students  who  learn,  no  matter  how  high  or  low 
the  grade  point  average.  Deciding  on  one  to 
profile,  isn't  easy.  The  student,  however,  should 
symbolize  a  true  interest  in  learning.  After  all, 
that's  what  education  is,  an  expression  of 
curiosity  and  hard  work. 

At  first  meeting,  Carol  Beggy,  a  print  concen- 
tration minor,  filled  the  room  with  lively  anec- 
dotes and  through  her  writing  conveys  a  sense  of 
reality  by  getting  to  the  core  of  whatever  it  is 
she  covers  for  the  "Northeastern  News"  or  the 
"Boston  Globe." 

Five  years  of  classes  and  co-op  is  a  long  time, 
"Heck,  only  40  percent  of  marriages  last  five 
years,"  as  Carol  wrote,  but  in  that  time  she's  | 


participated  in  student  activities  while  main- 
taining a  Dean's  List  status. 

From  her  first  semester  up  to  her  last,  Carol, 
a  Pennsylvania  native,  has  been  working  for  the 
Northeastern  News,  recently  completing  her 
third  quarter  as  Managing  editor.  While  the  job 
takes  50  to  60  hours  a  week,  she  also  retains  a 
part-time  post  as  General  Assignment  reporter 
for  the  Boston  Globe,  where  she  has  co-oped 
since  the  end  of  her  freshman  year. 

Despite  the  long  hours  and  late  nights  put- 
ting the  paper  to  bed,  she  rarely  missed  her 
eight  a.m.  gym  class  —  ice  skating.  "I  was 
skating  like  a  zombie,"  said  Carol,  who  likes  to 
take  the  one  credit  classes  because,  "where  else 
can  you  learn  something  like  .  .  .  archery?!" 


Also  minoring  in  Russian  studies,  Carol  pro- 
vides News'  readers  with  Administration  and 
SGA  news,  reflections  on  the  quarter,  and  her 
view  of  life  at  Northeastern  in  opinion  columns. 
At  times  she  also  must  explain  News'  policies  to 
hostile  readers,  as  in  the  case  of  the  controversial 
columnist  "Sims." 

She  compares  working  for  the  News  to  cover- 
ing a  small  town.  All  the  parts  are  there,  the  Ad- 
ministration, the  student  body,  sports,  arts,  etc., 
including  the  readers'  grumbling  over  coverage. 

Many  times,  said  Carol,  the  feeling  from  the 
Administration  is  "If  you're  not  for  us,  you're 
against  us."  However,  she  added,  "if  someone 
steps  out  of  line,  or  isn't  doing  their  job,  it's  our 
job  to  say  something,  to  inform."  Repeating 
what  the  Administration  says  to  the  News  when 
dissatisfied  with  its  coverage,  Carol  said,  "they 
have  to  realize  that  we  can't  be  all  things  to  all 

(cont.) 


272  /  Engineering 


people." 

"We  fight  with  them  sometimes.  But,  you 
lave  to  give  credit  where  credit  is  due.  We  have 
i  smart  administration  right  now  that  realizes 
he  news  works  both  ways.  They  get  more 
ingered  if  a  University  official  is  unavailable  for 
omment  than  anything  else." 

"The  newspaper  will  change  as  the  kids  who 
un  it  do,"  she  said,  adding  that  in  the  last  four 
ir  five  years  the  paper  has  become  "more  finan- 
ially  responsible,  more  personally  responsible 
nd  more  academically  responsible.  It  used  to  be 

rarity  if  someone  on  the  editorial  staff  made 
he  Dean's  List.  However,  in  the  last  five  years, 
t's  rarer  if  the  entire  editorial  staff  doesn't  make 
he  Dean's  List." 

Although  the  News  may  be  strong  on  quali- 
y,  they  run  short  on  quantity.  "It's  hard  to 
iave  an  activity  at  NU  because  of  co-op,"  she 
aid. 


Wasting  no  time,  Carol's  byline  started  to 
appear  in  the  Globe  in  the  summer  of  1985 
answering  phones  at  the  city  desk,  assigning 
photographers  the  region  desk,  and  coor- 
dinating other  news  co-ops.  Her  stories  ranged 
from  Groundhog  Day  in  Punxsutwney,  Penn- 
sylvania to  reporting  from  the  State  House  and 
City  Hall  Bureaus. 

Carol  feels  lucky  to  have  had  the  experience 
of  working  in  a  metropolitian  newsroom  during 
major  events  such  as  the  bombing  of  Libya  or 
the  TWA  hijacking  in  1985.  "I  learn  a  lot  wat- 
ching editiors  make  decisions,"  she  said,  but 
"it's  terrible  to  think  your  good  fortune  is 
somebody  else's  misfortune." 

Recently,  Carol  interviewed  a  family  in 
Watertown  while  they  watched  their  house 
burn  from  a  neighbor's  porch.  She  expressed 
sympathy  for  the  family  and  after  explaining 
who  she  was  and  what  paper  she  was  from  she 


offered  to  get  in  touch  with  the  hard-to-reach 
Red  Cross  for  them.  While  she  and  a  reporter 
from  the  Boston  Herald  were  interviewing  the 
family  a  T.V.  crew  appeared  and  "the  people 
changed,"  said  Carol,  referring  to  the  family's 
uneasiness  in  front  of  the  cameras. 

Her  reasons  for  pursuing  print  rather  than 
T.V.  journalism  are  exemplified  through  the  in- 
cident in  Watertown.  Because  of  the  time  con- 
straints and  lack  of  intimacy  of  television,  Carol 
has  witnessed  people  put  in  forced  situations. 
"I've  seen  them  (T.V.  reporters  and  or  camera 
crew)  set  up  situations,  by  saying  something 
like  put  the  kid  on  your  knee'  or  something." 

Journalism,  with  deadlines  and  research  and 
leg  work  and  constant  interaction  with  people,  is 
like  a  continuous  education  and  seems  an  ideal

choice  for  Carol,  who  said,  "I  like  people  and 
like  to  know  whats  going  on  ...  I've  always 
been  curious."  She  added  that  she  likes  to  "bust 
my  butt  for  something  and  then  see  the  final 
project  the  next  day."

Nasim  Memon:  Bridging  gaps  between  cultures 


Do  you  know  anyone  who  talks  fast,  gets 
many  things  accomplished  at  the  same  time  and 
has  boundless  energy?  Nasim  G.  Memon,  a 
biology  senior,  fits  this  description  perfectly  and 
her  energy  and  commitment  have  made  her  a 
student  leader. 

Born  in  Anand,  India,  she  became  a 
naturalized  U.S.  citizen  when  her  father's 
veterinarian  research  brought  the  family  over  in 
1976. 

After  a  year  of  general  studies  at 
UMass/Amherst,  Nasim  enrolled  at 
Northeastern  because  of  the  co-op  program. 
Her  experiences  include  positions  as  a  Biochem 
lab  technician  at  both  the  Harvard  School  of 
Public  Health,  Lown  Cardiovascular  Founda- 
tion (Nobel  Peace  Prize  Laureate  1985)  and  at 
the  Harvard  Medical  School  Neuroen- 
dochrology  lab.  Her  last  year  was  spent  at  the 
MIT  Nuclear  Reactor  lab  as  a  Radio  Chemistry 
lab  technician. 

At  NU,  Nasim  has  been  active  in  numerous 
student  activities.  She  was  a  member  of  the 
Association  of  Students  from  the  Indian  Sub- 
continent (ASIS),  the  NU  Beta  Biological  Socie- 
ty and  in  the  coalition  against  apartheid.  She 
aided  the  Student  Activities  Office  on  their 
travel  committee  in  1985-86  and  was  named  to 
Who's  Who  in  American  Colleges  and  Univer- 
sities for  two  years.  But  her  greatest  contribu- 


tion was  to  the  International  Student   Forum 
(ISF). 

Nasim  joined  the  ISF  in  order  to  learn  about 
different  cultures.  In  Spring  1985  she  coor- 
dinated the  annual  International  Variety  Show 
during  the  International  Week  and  stood  for 
presidency  of  the  ISF  and  was  elected 
unanimously. 

Her  first  goal  in  her  new  position  was  to 
show  that  international  students  can  make  im- 
portant contributions  to  the  NU  community. 
Nasim  has  represented  NU  at  three  National 
Association  for  Foreign  Students  Affairs  con- 
ferences and  has  brought  back  many  useful 
ideas. 

Through  her  association  with  ISF,  Nasim 
also  furthered  her  interest  in  international  rela- 
tions and  her  languages,  which  include  Spanish, 
Gujariti,  and  American  Sign  Language.  ■

GOOD  LUCK  CLASS 
OF  87 


The  Class  of 
'87 


I 


/  all  started  the  Fall  of 


'82 


High  school  behind  us, 
We  arrived  at  N.U. 

Parties  on  campus 
And  also  the  frats, 
Football  and  hockey  games, 
Afiredrill  —  oh  rats! 

Fun  in  hood  humor, 
T-O-G-A,  pantyraids, 
Clean  up  your  dorm  room, 
Remember  —  no  maids! 

Remember     Punters     and 

Sidelines 

How  could  we  forget, 

The  bars  we  could  enter 

we're  not  legal  yet. 

First  finals  approaching, 

Coffee  galore  .  .  . 

Cramming   those    last  few 

hours 

On    Dodge's   sweaty    third     JT^I     jfo 

floor. 

Sophomores,  too  old 
For  dorm  life  now, 
One  year  behind  us 
Take  the  first  bow. 

Apartments  they  call  them, 
That's  fancy  for  box. 
Anything  of  value  — 
make  sure  it  is  locked 


No  more  dorm  food  to  eat 

A  definite  plus; 

Our  Kitchen  and  Cappy's 

says 

"Leave  the  cooking  to  us." 

Field  experience  started 
Interviews,  Resumes. 
What  is  that  motto?? 
COOP  —  It  pays! 


Enjoying  a  solitary  moment  on  the  river. 


Above:  The  Boston  skyline  at  night;  below:  Newbury  Street. 


Then  there 's  the  middler, 
And  what  year  is  that? 
Keg  parties  continued, 
And  on  goes  the  fat. 

Now  we  are  smarter. 
Buy  our  books  late. 
Long  lines  at  the  bookstore, 
Why  should  we  wait? 

Off  campus,  we  travel, 
Hot  spot  of  the  night 
"Who's   on    First"   was  a 
favorite 
o  The  floor  was  a  sight. 

£  A  summer  in  school, 
|  Oh  what  a  drag. 

Enjoyed     those      long 

weekends, 

suffered  Monday  jet  lag. 


Runs  to  the  packie, 

Is  that  keg  going  to  last? 

Thursday's  arrived 

With  long  lines  at  the  Cask. 


Conclusion  /  307 


COOP,  —  in  school, 
And  COOP  again. 
You  're  half-way, 
Think  positive  .  .  . 
You'll  make  it  —  You  can. 

Then  comes  the  Junior 

Can  this  really  be  me? 

One  year  to  go  .  .  . 

And  from   books,  you'll  be 

free. 

An  experience  of  Boston 
Is  riding  the  'T 
Packed  in  like  sardines; 
There 's  plenty  to  see. 

The  campus  is  changing 
Redoing  the  Quad? 
replacing  new  grass 
hay  down  some  more  sod. 

Time 's  getting  closer  .  .  . 

Did  you  buy  a  class  ring? 

Have    you    gone     to     Ft. 

Lauderdale 

For  your  spring  fling? 

No  longer  the  Cask, 
The  crosswalk  is  new. 
Looking  around  campus, 
Old  remnants  are  few. 


COOP  has  ended, 

Senior     pictures     been 

snapped. 

We're    the    big    wheels    on 

campus 

four  years  have  elapsed. 

For  signing  and  pleasure 
Have     you     bought     your 
yearbook? 

For  gossip  —  N.U.'s  per- 
sonal column 
Is  where  you  should  look. 

Been  all  through  the  campus  s 
Know  each  building  by  | 
name.  \ 

Six  months  down  the  line,       f 

o  — 

Our  lives  will  be  changed.  A  walk  by  the  water

The  final  stretch  is  in  view. 
Senior  fever  has  spread. 
Still  homework  and  papers 

I'm  losing  my  head. 

Last  quarter  together 
A  huge  senior  class. 
Senior  week  of  activities, 
Time  passes  fast. 

Graduation  is  over. 
Champagne  is  all  gone. 
Now  those  five  years 
Don 't  seem  nearly  as  long. 

Our  experiences  at  N.U., 
Now  a  thing  of  the  past, 
Memories    and  friendships 
are  forever  .  .  . 
If  you  want  them  to  last.

Reflections 


'ollege  was,  (and  I  say  was 
because  we're  pretty  darn  near  done 
with  it),  fuzzy  memories  of  the  Cask. 
Mug  nights,  hot  dog  specials  and  hor- 
rendously  loud,  bad  music.  It  is  fitting 
that  the  last  class  of  Northeastern 
students  who  had  happy  hours  and  a 
20-year-old  drinking  age  should  be 
the  last  class  with  the  Cask. 

Not  to  dwell  on  drinking,  by  hey, 
college  students,  in  their  time  flirting 
with  academia,  dwell  on  drinking. 
Most  students  measure  the  success  of 
their  freshman  year,  and  in  fact,  their 
college  career  by  the  number  of  wild 
stories  and  cloudy  memories  they 
have.  The  good  times  are  remembered 
by  how  much  we  drank,  who  we  came 
home  with,  where  we  left  our  clothes, 
where  we  found  our  clothes,  and  how 
much  trouble  we  managed  to  get 
ourselves  into  and  out  of  .  .  . 

Once  we  graduate  we  will  join  the 
thousands  of  alumni  who  have  gone 
(or  commenced)  before  us  and  our  ties 
to  the  university  will  never  stop.  You 
see,  once  we  pay  our  last  tuition  pay- 
ment —  then  they  ask  for  donations 
to  build  the  library  they  promised  us 
when  we  were  students  here  for  five 
years. 

How  will  we  be  remembered?  We 
won't  be  the  long  talked  about  ac- 
tivists who  infested  the  campus  in  the 
late  60's  and  70's.  We  may  only  be 
known  as  the  Class  of  1987  —  too  late 
to  be  yuppies,  too  early  for  whatever 
the  next  trend  may  be.  We  may  be 
lost  in  the  shuffle.  Or  we  may  be  one 
of  the  most  successful  classes  to  ever 
get  our  diplomas  and  march  out  of 
Boston  Garden.  Who  knows?  Look. 
Your  diploma  cost  $46,000.  Cheer 
up.  If  you  had  gone  to  school  five 
years  later  it  would  have  cost  you 
$50,000.H
